GARNER & GARNER

The case of *Garner & Garner* involved parenting and property settlement orders made by the Honourable Rose J. The dispute concerned the arrangements for the parties' three children and the division of their former matrimonial home and other assets.

The court was required to determine the specific terms of parenting orders, including additional time for the husband with the children during school terms, and to make orders for the sale of the former matrimonial home. Further issues included the distribution of the proceeds of sale, the division of household contents, and the entitlement to personalty and superannuation.

Rose J made orders for the sale of the former matrimonial home by public auction, with a reserve price to be agreed upon or nominated by a single expert. The proceeds were to be applied first to sale expenses and legal costs, with the balance to be divided such that the wife received 71.85% and the husband the remaining balance. The parties were also ordered to divide the contents of the home according to an attached document, and each party was declared solely entitled to their personalty and superannuation entitlements. Parenting orders were also varied to allow for additional time with the husband during school terms.
