WOODS & WOODS

In the matter of *Woods & Woods*, heard before Cronin J, the wife sought various orders including spousal maintenance and the provision of documents. The husband responded to these applications.

The primary legal issues before the court concerned the wife's applications for spousal maintenance under sections 77 and 74 of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), and her request for disclosure of documents.

Cronin J dismissed the wife's application for spousal maintenance under section 77 and her request for disclosure. However, the court adjourned the wife's oral application for spousal maintenance under section 74, along with other outstanding interim issues, to a later date. The court also made directions regarding communication with the Senior Registrar, the preparation and filing of case outlines and minutes of orders, and the confirmation of readiness to proceed.
