McLusky & McLusky

In *McLusky & McLusky*, Forrest J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered an application by the wife for periodic spousal maintenance.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the wife had established a need for spousal maintenance, and if so, whether it was just and equitable to make an order for periodic maintenance, having regard to the financial circumstances of both parties.

Forrest J dismissed the wife's application for periodic spousal maintenance. The reasons for this decision were not detailed in the provided text, but the Court indicated that if the parties did not jointly forward a draft Minute of Order reflecting the Court's findings, the matter would be relisted for further submissions on the precise orders to be made.
