WILBURN & WILBURN (No.2)

In *Wilburn & Wilburn (No.2)*, McNab J of the Family Court of Australia considered a dispute between the parties concerning the division of their property and whether the matrimonial home should be sold. The central question before the court was whether it was just and equitable to allow one party to retain an interest in the property.

The court was required to determine the appropriate orders for the division of matrimonial assets, specifically addressing the future of the jointly owned matrimonial home. This involved assessing the financial circumstances of both parties and considering the implications of retaining or selling the property.

McNab J applied principles of family law to determine a just and equitable distribution. The court considered the contributions of each party to the marriage and the future needs of both parties. Ultimately, the court made orders regarding the property, reflecting its assessment of what was fair and equitable in the circumstances.
