    Family Court
    Case number
    FCJA1467/2001

    On a de novo assessment of means and needs the court imputed a notional income of $4,000pm to the Wife, assessed the Husband's reasonable monthly expenses at $33,000 leaving about $14,000 available for maintenance, fixed the Wife's reasonable need at $10,000pm, found SY remained in full-time education until August 2006 so child maintenance ceased then, calculated overpayments and underpayments resulting in net arrears of $160,200 and therefore varied the Wife's periodical payment to $10,000pm with arrears to be repaid at $5,000pm from 1 September 2007 until paid.
