Macleay and Glenister

The applicant, Macleay, sought various interim orders against the respondent, Glenister, in the Family Court of Australia. The dispute concerned interim spousal maintenance, interim sole use and occupancy of the family home, interim parenting orders, hair follicle testing, and the provision of valuation evidence.

The court was required to determine whether to grant the applicant's interim applications for spousal maintenance and sole use and occupancy of the family home. Further, the court had to consider the interim parenting applications, the application for hair follicle testing, and the application for valuation evidence.

Wilson J dismissed the applicant's interim applications for spousal maintenance and sole use and occupancy of the family home. The court also dismissed the application for hair follicle testing and refused the application for the provision of valuation evidence. All interim parenting applications were referred to the Senior Registrar. Costs were reserved.
