Heath J found the final separation occurred in January 2003; the disparity of contributions did not meet the high threshold in s13 so unequal sharing was not warranted; however Ms O was entitled to post-separation credit for mortgage principal reductions of NZD 41,841 and a NZD 10,000 allowance for childcare, the earlier NZD 8,400 additional financial allowance was set aside, the Family Court orders were set aside and the matter was adjourned for counsel to agree final orders and payment timing.
