Dupont and Dupont

The case of *Dupont and Dupont* concerned a dispute between a husband and wife, heard by Justice Watt. The proceedings involved the division of assets and arrangements for their child.

The court was required to determine the terms of sale for a motor vehicle and a property, the distribution of sale proceeds, the payment of outstanding fees and maintenance, and the parenting arrangements for the parties' child. The court also needed to address the provision of discovery between the parties and adjourn the matter for further hearing.

Justice Watt made orders by consent and otherwise. The husband was ordered to deliver a motor vehicle for sale, with the proceeds to be applied towards outstanding accountant fees, valuation work, and a sum to be held for a single expert witness, with the balance to be held on trust. The husband was also ordered to pay maintenance. The parties were ordered to place their property on the market for sale, with specific instructions regarding the reserve price, agent appointment, and distribution of sale proceeds, including mortgage repayments. Discovery was to be provided by both parties. Parenting orders were made for the child to live with the husband and spend time with the wife on specified days. The wife's applications and the husband's response were adjourned to an interim hearing.
