The applicant husband sought to set aside a marriage contract signed shortly before the parties' 2004 marriage, arguing the respondent wife failed to make proper financial disclosure of her substantial trust and estate interests and that he did not understand the contract.
The court found the wife had adequately disclosed her net worth, even overestimating it, and that the husband had received independent legal advice and understood the nature and consequences of the agreement.
The court dismissed the application, finding no material misrepresentation, duress, or unconscionability to justify judicial intervention under section 56(4) of the Family Law Act.
