CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Miller & Miller*, heard before Judge Dunkley, the dispute concerned urgent spousal maintenance and an application for an injunctive order. The wife sought urgent spousal maintenance from the husband, and also indicated an intention to apply for an injunctive order concerning the signing of a document that would reduce the parties' mortgage.

The court was required to determine the appropriate quantum of urgent spousal maintenance payable by the husband to the wife pending further order. Additionally, the court noted the wife's impending application for an injunctive order under section 114 of the relevant Act, relating to a document that would facilitate a reduction in the parties' mortgage.

The court ordered the husband to pay urgent spousal maintenance to the wife in the sum of $200 per week, with the first payment due on or before 28 February 2014 and subsequent payments due each Friday thereafter. The parties were also directed to attend a Conciliation Conference with a Registrar on 1 April 2014, with the applicant responsible for the conference fee unless exempted. The case was listed for further directions and potential reconsideration of the urgent spousal maintenance order on 14 April 2014, at which time the wife's application for an injunctive order was also anticipated.
