Gresham and Gresham (No 2)

Henderson J made final parenting and property orders in the matter of *Gresham and Gresham (No 2)*. The dispute concerned the division of matrimonial property and the best interests of the three children of the marriage.

The court was required to determine the appropriate parenting arrangements for the children, including living arrangements, parental responsibility, and time spent with each parent. In relation to property, the court had to assess the division of various assets, including overseas pension plans, overseas funds, superannuation, and the former matrimonial home, taking into account factors such as contributions, capital gains tax, and the section 75(2) and 79 factors of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) to achieve a just and equitable outcome.

The parenting orders established that the children would live with the mother and that the parties would have equal shared parental responsibility. Specific time arrangements were detailed for the father, including weekday and weekend time, as well as provisions for holidays and special occasions. The court also made orders regarding communication, notification of appointments, and overseas travel for the children. For property, the court ordered an equal division of certain funds and provided options for the disposition of the former matrimonial home and English properties. The wife was given a period to decide whether to retain the former matrimonial home, with specific financial adjustments to be made to the husband in either scenario. The court also addressed the division of overseas pensions and the husband's responsibility for mortgage payments and private health insurance for the children.
