Rahma & Rahma

In the matter of Rahma & Rahma, Brown J of the Family Court of Australia made orders by consent concerning financial disclosure, the progression of final property settlement proceedings, and interim injunctive relief. The dispute involved competing applications for final orders and an application for an injunction.

The court was required to determine the extent of the husband's financial disclosure obligations, including the provision of updated financial statements and a formal affidavit of documents. Additionally, the court addressed the procedural steps for advancing the parties' final property settlement applications and considered the wife's application for interim injunctive relief.

The orders reflect a consent determination by the parties, guided by the Family Law Rules 2004. The husband was ordered to provide comprehensive updated financial information and to make discovered documents available. The parties' final applications were referred for case management, and the husband was restrained from dealing with the former matrimonial home and the proceeds of sale of other specified properties, save for specified expenses and secured debts. The balance of sale proceeds was to be held in trust. The husband was also ordered to pay a contribution towards the wife's costs.
