Walsh and Walsh and Anor

In *Walsh and Walsh*, the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the wife for spousal maintenance and the sale of real property. The husband was also a party to the proceedings.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the wife was entitled to spousal maintenance, and if so, in what amount. A secondary issue concerned the wife's application for the sale of real property.

Cronin J determined that the wife was entitled to spousal maintenance and ordered the husband to pay $880 per week. However, the Court dismissed the wife's application for the sale of real property. The Court also certified that it was reasonable to engage counsel to attend the proceedings.
