STEINER & STEINER

In the matter of *Steiner & Steiner*, the mother sought further injunctive orders against the father for the protection of herself and the children, in addition to existing protection orders. She also sought orders for the father to pay the monthly mortgage repayments on the former family home, where she and the children reside, as well as all of the children’s school fees and half of their medical costs. The application was heard by Hannam J.

The court was required to determine whether to grant further injunctive relief for the protection of the mother and children, and whether to make orders for the father to contribute to the mortgage repayments, school fees, and medical costs for the children. A significant factor in the determination of these matters was the existence of an outstanding application by the mother pursuant to section 79A of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) to set aside previous property orders.

Hannam J dismissed the mother's application. The reasoning for dismissing the injunctive relief was not explicitly detailed in the provided text, but the dismissal of the financial relief sought was based on the mother not having exhausted the administrative options available to her within the child support legislation. The court also noted the pending application to set aside previous property orders, which likely influenced the decision regarding financial contributions.

Consequently, the court ordered the dismissal of the remainder of the mother’s interim application, specifically orders 2 and 3 of the interim orders sought in her further Amended Initiating Application dated 19 December 2019.
