Snider and Snider

The case of Snider and Snider involved a dispute between a husband and wife concerning the division of their assets and liabilities. The matter came before Judge McGuire.

The court was required to determine the appropriate division of tangible assets between the parties, the allocation of liabilities, and the division of their superannuation fund. Additionally, the court considered the wife's application for spousal maintenance.

Judge McGuire ordered that the husband forthwith authorise the Family Trust and/or Company A to pay the wife all arrears due under previous consent orders. The husband was to retain a motor vehicle owned by Company A at its market valuation, with the transfer to occur immediately. Tangible assets were to be divided 65% to the wife and 35% to the husband, with each party retaining personalty, motor vehicles, and bank accounts in their possession. Each party was to be solely responsible for and indemnify the other in respect of liabilities incurred since separation and liabilities attaching to assets retained. The corpus of the Snider Superannuation fund was to be divided equally. Interim orders from 2015 were to remain in effect until the sale of the business and real estate, with liberty to apply for variation or discharge. The wife's application for spousal maintenance was dismissed.
