Trevi and Trevi (No 2)

In *Trevi and Trevi (No 2)*, Thornton J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the wife for spousal maintenance. The husband sought to have this application dismissed.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the wife had established a need for spousal maintenance, and if so, whether it was just and equitable to make an order for maintenance, having regard to the circumstances of the parties.

Thornton J dismissed the wife's application for spousal maintenance. The court reserved the question of the husband's costs of the hearing that took place on 13 February 2015.
