About the Webinar

The biggest cause of litigation in family law arises from disputes over contributions. This session will examine two types of contribution that courts regularly need to consider when deciding on entitlement and recent decisions, including:

  • Initial contributions:
  • determining the nature and value of assets brought to a relationship
  • assessing changes in value and other significant impacts
  • how the courts have calculated initial contributions:

Jabour Jabour [2019] FamCAFC 78; Hobson Hobson [2020] Fam CAFC 251

Horrigan Horrigan [2020] Fam CAFC 25

  • Income:
  • how have courts traditionally dealt with high income earning capacity by one party?
  • has there been a trend away from treating high income as a normal contribution issue to a special contribution issue?
  • Walters v Carson [2018] FamCAFC 233 and other relevant cases
