We don’t see many Family Court cases reported on – every male needs to read this one. There are some hard lessons for the boys here within the realm of no fault divorce.

If anyone finds a link to the actual judgement can you please add the link in a comment.

While the article gives some information it also leaves questions unanswered.

The judgement shows arguments in the settlement included who should get money from an extensive wine collection, which had been consumed by the wife and friends since the separation; whether three watches worth $100,000 and jewellery worth more than $162,000 were gifts or not, and whether the wife should repay half of what her husband had spent on her since the separation.

I can understand why the guy is appealing.

Judge Grace did not agree with Vickerman that the wife should repay maintenance given to her after the separation.
