Vasilias and Vasilias (No. 4)

In *Vasilias and Vasilias (No. 4)*, Justice Cronin of the Family Court of Australia considered an application to vary previous orders concerning financial obligations between the parties, the wife and the husband. The dispute centred on the payment of specific sums to various entities, including the Child Support Agency, educational institutions, and the husband's parents, as well as the withdrawal of caveats lodged by the husband's parents and another individual over a property.

The court was required to determine the precise amounts the wife was to pay to satisfy these obligations and to ensure the timely withdrawal of caveats upon such payments. Further issues included the mechanism for enforcing the withdrawal of caveats should the caveators fail to comply, the husband's obligation to provide information regarding the mortgage on the former matrimonial home, and the procedure for applications for costs. The court also addressed the husband's conduct by restraining him from discussing the wife's financial affairs with third parties and clarified the extent to which payments made by the wife would discharge the parties' obligations under prior orders.

Justice Cronin ordered that the wife pay specific sums to the Child Support Agency, J School, the Greek School, the husband's parents, and Mr RW. The court stipulated that upon these payments, the recipients were to provide a withdrawal of any caveats lodged over the relevant real property. In the event of non-compliance by the caveators, the court provided for the signing of caveat withdrawal documents by a registrar of the Court pursuant to section 106A of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), upon the wife tendering the required sums. The husband was ordered to provide a statement of the outstanding mortgage balance on the former matrimonial home, and parties were given specific timelines to file applications for costs. The husband was also restrained from discussing the wife's financial affairs with brokers or financial institutions.
