EL RASHIDY & EL RASHIDY

In *El Rashidy & El Rashidy*, the Honourable Justice Williams of the Family Court of Australia considered an interlocutory application concerning property settlement and spousal maintenance between the husband and wife. The parties were engaged in proceedings for a property settlement, with a trial scheduled to commence in two months, and the wife sought payment of arrears of spousal maintenance.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the husband should be ordered to pay all arrears of spousal maintenance owed to the wife pursuant to existing court orders. The court was also required to determine the fate of other extant interim applications.

Justice Williams ordered that the husband pay all arrears of spousal maintenance owed to the wife within seven days, with payment to be made to the wife's solicitors, in accordance with specific orders made on 4 October 2017. All other interim applications before the court were dismissed.
