The financial resources available to a party can be an important consideration in both property settlement and spousal maintenance proceedings in the family courts, but there is no definition of “financial resource” in the Family Law Act 1975. In this program, Adrian Stone, from Gold Stone Family Lawyers in Malvern, Victoria, examines, through the case law, the family court’s approach to financial resources in general, and to particular types of financial resources including: pension entitlements, overseas superannuation; long service leave, tax losses, future inheritances, and testamentary wishes.
