This matter concerned an application by the wife for the division of the parties' property, including a superannuation splitting order and spousal maintenance. The court was required to determine the wife's claims for property division and spousal maintenance, and to address several applications made against third parties.

The court's reasoning focused on setting a timetable for the progression of the wife's applications against the husband. It also addressed multiple applications filed by the wife against various third parties, namely Mr A, Mr M, Mr S, the (omitted) Bowling Club, and Mr R. The court dismissed these applications against the third parties.

The court ordered that the wife's application for property division and spousal maintenance be listed for final hearing on 16 June 2017. The wife was directed to file her application detailing her superannuation splitting request and the amount of spousal maintenance sought, along with an updated financial statement and trial affidavit, by 2 February 2017, with the husband to respond by 13 April 2017. Furthermore, the wife was ordered to pay costs of $500.00 to Mr A and Mr M by specific dates in November 2016, and to file and serve written submissions regarding costs applications by third parties by 9 October 2016, following their submissions by 4 September 2016. All applications against the named third parties were dismissed.
