Hackford and Hackford

In *Hackford and Hackford*, the wife sought spousal maintenance from the husband. The matter came before Hannam J in the Family Court of Australia.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the wife was entitled to spousal maintenance from the husband. This required the Court to consider the relevant provisions of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) and the factors it must take into account when determining an application for spousal maintenance.

Hannam J dismissed the wife's application for spousal maintenance. The Court discharged Order 2(14) of previous orders made on 2 July 2015.
