| dc.description.notes | Explores the implications of the ‘financial consequences’ approach of s75(2) of the Family Law Act 1975, which does not take into account the domestic violence perpetrator’s responsibility in matrimonial property settlements. This view can be traced to the 1976 decision in Hack, where the judge considered the wife’s quadriplegia for spousal maintenance, but refused to take into account the husband’s alleged liability in damages to the wife. Conversely, in cases involving financial misconduct, the Court takes into consideration the causes of the financial consequences, such as gambling or alcoholism. Women who experience domestic violence are more likely to endure economic adversity and post-separation poverty. Medical, legal and relocation expenses should been considered when making orders for property alteration, and the violence of one spouse should be a relevant circumstance for the purposes of s75(2). | en |
