Giannino and Giannino

In the matter of *Giannino and Giannino*, Stevenson J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the wife and a response by the husband concerning financial matters. The wife sought orders, and the husband filed a response seeking his own orders.

The court was required to determine the wife's application and specific paragraphs of the husband's response. Additionally, the court needed to consider whether to vary an existing order concerning the husband's access to funds for living expenses.

Stevenson J dismissed the wife's application in its entirety. The court also dismissed several paragraphs of the husband's response. However, the court varied an earlier order to allow the husband to withdraw a maximum of $500 per week from a specified NAB account to cover his living expenses, pending further order.
