Rittman and Rittman

In the matter of *Rittman and Rittman*, heard before Barry J, the dispute concerned property settlement between the Wife and Husband. The orders indicate that a partial property settlement distribution was agreed upon, involving payments of $100,000 to each party, to be paid from the Wife's solicitors' trust account. However, the specific categorisation of these distributions was to be determined by a trial judge.

The court was required to determine the particulars of all costs and outlays expended on legal fees to date, along with an estimate of future fees, which the legal representatives for both the Mother and Father were to provide within twenty-one days. Additionally, certain orders sought by the Wife in her application filed on 22 July 2010, and by the Husband in his response filed on 17 August 2010, were dismissed by the court.

The court's reasoning and the legal principles applied are not detailed in the provided text, as the orders appear to be made by consent in relation to specific aspects of the property settlement and procedural matters. The primary outcome of these orders was the partial distribution of funds and the requirement for parties to provide cost particulars.

Costs were reserved to the trial of these proceedings, indicating that a final determination on costs would be made at a later stage.
