Lenardi and Lenardi

In *Lenardi and Lenardi*, Collier J made orders concerning the division of property and financial matters between the parties. The dispute involved the distribution of various assets, including real estate and financial accounts, and the discharge of liabilities.

The court was required to determine the specific financial entitlements and obligations of each party, including the payment of a sum of money, the transfer of property interests, and the discharge of bank liabilities. Further issues included the method of sale for certain properties if agreement could not be reached, the management of rental income pending sale, and the handling of funds held in trust for children. The court also addressed applications for child support departure and spousal maintenance.

Collier J applied principles of property settlement and financial orders, aiming for a final division of assets and liabilities. The orders provided a detailed framework for the transfer of property, the payment of a significant sum from the wife to the husband, and the discharge of ANZ Bank loans secured over the properties. In the event of non-compliance with the initial payment and discharge orders, the court stipulated a process for the sale of specified properties by private treaty or, if necessary, public auction, with detailed provisions for the application of sale proceeds. The court also made specific orders regarding the management of jointly held shares, the return of personal documents and photographs, and the ownership of remaining personal property. Applications for departure from child support assessment and spousal maintenance were dismissed.
