Weinhopf and Weinhopf

In *Weinhopf and Weinhopf*, Murphy J made orders for the settlement of property pursuant to s 79 of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth). The dispute concerned the division of various assets between the husband and wife.

The court was required to determine how the parties' property, including real estate, motor vehicles, bank funds, overseas assets, superannuation interests, and chattels, should be divided between them.

Murphy J's reasoning led to a comprehensive property settlement. The orders stipulated that the husband was to transfer his interest in a Queensland property, a Ford Fairmont, and a Daewoo motor vehicle to the wife, and abandon any claim to her overseas assets, Westpac bank funds, and superannuation. Conversely, the wife was to transfer her interest in a Queensland property and a Toyota Troupe Carrier to the husband, and abandon any claim to his overseas assets, Westpac bank funds, and superannuation. The orders also addressed the division of furniture and other chattels not specifically mentioned.
