Manson and Manson

This matter concerned parenting and property orders made by Judge Myers. The dispute involved the father's possession and storage of firearms in circumstances where the children spent time at his premises, and the division of various assets between the husband and wife.

The court was required to determine the appropriate conditions to be imposed on the father regarding the storage and handling of firearms to ensure the safety of the children. Additionally, the court had to make orders for the division of property, including a sum of money to be paid by the husband to the wife, the transfer of interests in a property, the sale of personal items, and the division of superannuation entitlements.

In relation to parenting, the court ordered that the father must hold a licence for any firearm kept on his premises where the children spend time, ensure all firearms are registered and stored in accordance with the *Firearms Act 1996* (NSW), and not remove firearms from storage in the presence of the children unless agreed in writing. For property, the husband was ordered to pay a specific sum to the wife within 42 days, simultaneously transferring her interest in a property and refinancing the mortgage. The husband was also to list his trailer and camping equipment for sale on eBay, with proceeds divided 62% to the wife and 38% to the husband. The wife was allocated a base amount from the husband's superannuation fund, with provisions for its calculation and transfer. The orders also stipulated that each party would retain sole beneficial ownership of other assets not specifically dealt with, and the Registrar was empowered to execute documents if a party failed to do so.
