FAMILY LAW IN AUSTRALIA

[calverleyjohnstonfamilylawyers]

Spousal maintenance is a payment which a person makes to their former partner to financially support them.

Spousal maintenance is not an automatic right and unless there is a mutual agreement that spousal maintenance will be provided, the person seeking financial support must obtain a Court Order.

Am I entitled to spousal maintenance?

Under Section 72 of the Family Law Act, a spouse has the right to maintenance to the extent that the other spouse is able to maintain them, if they are unable to support themselves adequately because of:

Having the care of a child of the marriage;

Age or physical or mental incapacity; or

For any other adequate reason.

༺ ♰ ༻ toxic levi headcanons ༺ ♰ ༻

pairing[s]: toxic!levi ackerman x afab!reader

warning[s]: possessiveness, age gap, power imbalance, sexism, and spousal abuse.

note: levi ackerman is my favorite little person ever. i want to hurt deeply right now, so i wrote (and found) some of these headcanons to satiate my need for pain. i know these are supposed to be red flags but all i see is a bountiful field of green. the art belongs to goodruedead on twitter [i do not respect x's pronouns].

word count: 0.3k

•       levi would consider you to be lesser/weaker than himself in the relationship and he doesn't hesitate to say it.

•       he's one of those leaders that think qualified women are more of a threat to men trying to advance in rank than other men. he thinks that a lot of women get their positions only because of their gender and not because of their hard work.

•       levi would hit you if you pestered him too much on a stressful work day, which is terrible, but to make it worse, he wouldn't hit you as hard as he would if a guy had done the same thing. he thinks that women are too "soft and fragile" to handle corporal punishments.

•       even if he hit you accidentally, he wouldn't apologize but he'd feel a little bad about it. maybe if he felt wrong enough he'd bring you some of his tea, but he wouldn't want to waste his good tea on you. you're getting the cheap shit.

•       levi will not share any of his favorite tea with you, ever. it's expensive and he doesn't want anyone else to drink it.

•       he can find fault in everything you do, and sometimes it feels like he's babysitting you instead of dating you.

•       if you mess up during an expedition, he calls you into his office to yell at you and if you start crying he'll scoff at you and tell you to leave.

•       levi is extremely emotionally unavailable, and he would not be good at comforting you.

•       he'd be possessive and controlling to the point where it's exhausting to be around him.

•       he outright refuses to show any vulnerability and gets pissed when you try to open up to him, but at the same time, he invades your privacy and will force you to tell him things.

•       he loves to call you out on your bullshit in training, but he would rather just suffer through problems with you in your personal relationship because he wants to avoid confrontation. he'd refuse to acknowledge that anything is wrong even if it started to eat away at you.

•       he is adamant that you sleep next to him every night to make sure you don't leave him.

•       levi would only speak to you, or give you attention when he wants it. if you need his attention, you won't even be able to fight for the scraps of his affection. you only matter to him when he wants you. he'll also neglect and gaslight you about it further along into your relationship.

•       he'd use your insecurities (weight, acne, body shape, etc.) against you in arguments.

•       if you're younger than him, he'll hold it against you and anytime you try to help him or give advice, he'll say you're too young to understand.

•       he would get angry if you were too high maintenance or clingy. he needs a lot of personal space, and if you can't give him that he will separate from you.

•       since he's sexually frustrated, he'll sleep around with a lot of other women and blame it on you. he'll say it is your fault because you aren't enough and can't give him what he wants.

Personally I have been having hang ups about being aro so a lot of the loop stuff I have in my head has be headcanon them as aro and them being all weird about it like "did siffrin steal my ability to love too??" (No you dingus you're just weird)

But the angle of loop developing the ability to feel sexual attraction is also cool, I remember how weird I felt after realising I wasn't ace

Maybe with our powers combined we can do both and inflict upon them double the hangups!

Loop: "siffrin took my asexuality in the divorce and universe gave me aromantisms as spousal maintenance"

OOHOHOHO YES THAT IS A DELICIOUS CONCEPT

i'm aromantic. and i'm asexual. the timeloop siblings (figurative, nonfamilial. Not Actually Siblings)

[gotocourt]

How do I apply for spousal maintenance?

It is always best to try to come to an agreement with your spouse before commencing legal proceedings. If you cannot reach an agreement, you can file an application in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia seeking spousal maintenance orders. You will need to set out your income and expenses in a Financial Statement when you make the application and your spouse will need to do the same when they file a response.

If the court considers that you are in urgent need of financial assistance it may order an immediate payment be made pending the final determination of your application (Section 77).

I think that both Danneel and Jensen have their flaws and are far from being perfect... but I don't understand why he doesn't divorce her, it's not going to change his acting carreer. I don't know but I feel like she has something that he doesn't want to be expose.

Honestly, I think there's multiple reasons for this.

Divorcing will ruin the "family man" image he's trying to curate amongst his fans. Stupid I know but it's true. Why else keep making up stories about their "love" and even taking pages out of other people's books to sound like a cutesy family?

Plenty of people don't divorce because of money, children, and time it takes to divorce. I am pretty sure they have some kind of prenup because this has been mentioned before. These types of legal agreements however are not always honored due to circumstances changing... or the prenup has some bullshit conditions in it or someone was intimidated into signing it. Why people act like these agreements are set in stone is beyond me...

May be she does have something against him she's been threatening him with (affairs, sexual orientation, committed some kind of serious crime that would send him to prison for a long time, generally tarnishing his good name, etc.). Even if this were to be the case, courts do NOT look kindly upon spouses blackmailing one another in divorce cases. People let their emotions run the ship (not enough objectivity) and it is why so many stay in miserable marriages. Just foolish if you ask me.

Custody and child support. Probably one of the biggest reasons people with kids don't divorce until at least they're grown. Ironically, Texas was suggested on Reddit as a man friendly state for divorce due to caps for how much support non custodial parents are expected to pay out. Per Google's AI to give some food for thought: Texas has a maximum child support amount that courts can order. The maximum child support is based on the payer's net monthly income, up to a maximum of $9,200. The percentage guidelines are: 1 child: 20%, 2 children: 25%, 3 children: 30%, 4 children: 35%, 5 or more children: 40%

Also, there IS a cap on spousal maintenance aka spouse support in the state of Texas. Per versustexas.com:

Is there a cap on spousal maintenance? Yes. The Texas Family Code caps the amount of spousal support per month to the lesser of: $5,000 or 20 percent of the paying spouse’s gross monthly income.

So, by doing the math here this would be equal to a maximum of $14,200 in their case since we know Jensen does have a high income. Of course, this is assuming Jensen does actually want to divorce. You can't force someone to stay married who doesn't want to in the long run. If someone wants out enough, they will get out. It may be a little bit harder at first if the other party tries to make a divorce NOT happen but it isn't impossible.

there's a complicated dynamic of like. thinking about institutional misogyny and societal hatred of women that disenfranchises them

but how the cultural devotion to the nuclear family and the institution of hetero marriage enfranchises certain kinds of spousal abuses

and obviously there's shit like, hitting your spouse, raping your spouse, and i think the basics of like... shouting and screaming, financial abuses, etc

these all being the more typical abuses of women by men

listening to a maintenance phase episode by a straight woman about how she stalked and manipulated her husband, gaslit him, full on carried on a conspiracy w his family members, coworkers, DOCTOR etc

to "help him lose weight"

and obviously this is fatphobia and institutionalised anti-fat bias, but like

im just thinking about how this abuse is enfranchised BECAUSE she's the woman - she controls the kitchen, the cooking, picks where they go out to eat, all these being her domain, and he's the man

its frustrating bc its just like. the labour divide is so real. in M/F dynamics women do so much of the domestic labour like ALL of it, including cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, etc

but there's stigma like? against men doing those things

and part of it is internalised misogyny, part of it is policing especially by other men for fears that active men in their domestic sphere will weaken the status quo and make other women "expect" their men to do domestic labour, god forbid (!)

but ugh smth about. this kind of interpersonal abuse and the way it's slotted into the cracks of expectation in established societal roles, and how abusers exploit existing power dynamics - and also how people FORGIVE abuse bx of their assumption of those dynamics

like there was that insane guy a while ago that refused to eat vegetables, so his girlfriend secretly blended them to forcefeed them to him without him knowing

and like. yes its fucked up thst she cooked all the meals and he didnt, obvs thats an unfair division of labour

but it really freaked me out that everyone was like. "oh well if she's cooking the meals, it's her right to lie to and gaslight her boyfriend about everything they eat, bc its For His Health" and i just. the way ppl talked about it terrified me, bc its a question of autonomy

if you have to lie or keep secret from someone you're feeding what is in the food, or otherwise they won't eat it, like... so you know they won't eat it? your control over what they eat is more important than their informed consent?

idk. i think maybe i have just traumas in this specific area that make me super sensitive to it, but also, its so fucked up that so much of this is accepted bc like

manipulation and lies within a marriage are held up in society as the BASIC expectation

JAMISON PAUL MICHAELS (original- 'the coach')

full name: jamison paul michaels nicknames: james age: 42 birthday: july 23 years on campus: 12 occupation/job: personal trainer, fitness instructor, and community coach relationship status: widowed sexuality: heterosexual positive traits (+): honest, fair, compassionate, hardworking negative traits (-): stubborn, withdrawn, moody, aloof

bio hc's: tw- poverty, injury, spousal death

jamison was born and raised in chicago, illinois to a family that struggled their entire lives to brush the low end of the poverty line. his mother, madeline, worked 6 days per week (and on occasion 7) at a small, run-down diner in town. she was a waitress doing her best to provide for her family. his father, frank, worked maintenance and janitorial for the local high school, and was paid absolute peanuts

academics weren't necessarily anything jamison excelled at, though he wasn't terrible either- primarily, his report cards consisted of B's and high C's

despite his less-than-stellar interest in academics, sports had fascinated jamison from a young age. the moment he could walk, he began tossing and kicking balls around. this delighted his father, who loved spending time with his son during the precious few off hours he had

as jamison grew, so did his talent for sports, with one in particular making its way to the forefront- baseball. his passion was evident and the talent simply added the cherry on top. madeline enrolled him in his first community league at only 4-years-old, and from then on he never missed a season, game, or even practice. as a freshman in high school, he became the youngest student ever to be recruited for the varsity team, and by the second semester of his sophomore year, he was team captain

with his decent grades and his baseball talent, the future was brighter than bright for james. directly out of high school he was recruited to join the college team at the university of illinois, where he attended on a full scholarship (much to the pride and relief of madeline and frank). double majoring in nutrition and sports therapy, jamison's interest in academics peaked as he was finally able to study specifically what he wanted

a year and a half into his college journey, james met the woman who became his wife. while hadn't ever believed in love at first sight, that particular point of view flew out the window the moment 19-year-old jamison laid eyes on evelyn. he asked her out immediately, she accepted, and the rest was history

upon graduation, jamison was scouted by a professional baseball team, and eventually (following bootcamp and bids) offically joined the cardinals. four months later he and evelyn were married, and it appeared as though smooth sailing had been granted

after playing for the cardinals for only three years, jamison incurred an injury mid-game that he knew immediately would end his career. while it was a fact he knew he couldn't avoid, he anger and bitterness he felt at the reality took quite some time for him to overcome- feelings of failure, and of letting down his family and his wife

after several surgeries and a two separate stints in a physical rehab facility, jamison was finally released from his medical treatments, and allowed to re-join the workforce, though not in the capacity he had once enjoyed. blessedly, his stats and record during his time on the professional team bought him respect and, in turn, job offers from several very reputable people and sources. though, jamison turned them all down, finding himself disinterested in virtually everything. that was, until a coaching position opened up at the university of colorado. having always been interested in the state as a whole, jamison took the truly generous offer to evelyn, and the decision was made- they would move

the couple had only been in boulder for approximately a year when the virus struck. jamison was quarantined and trapped at the university, while his wife was at her office. the belief that she was strong, smart, and resourceful carried james through the early weeks following the outbreak, as he was confident that eventually evelyn would make her way to campus, and they would resume, together. months passed and evelyn didn't come. finally, four months into the outbreak, a newcomer arrived to campus- someone jamison recognized as one of his wife's former co-workers. the man recognized him too, and with a tearful admission, shattered jamison's heart- evelyn hadn't made it

the devastation overcame james in a way no words could describe, and in that moment he felt the last piece of himself break. he completely changed that day, neary 12 years ago, and it seems as though no one has truly been able to break him from his fog since. he is, essentially, going through the motions.

“If I read their financial remedy hearing correctly, can’t believe Tessy had the nerves to ask for a “Lump sum payment of 4M for a house. With respect to spousal maintenance the wife sought £100,000 per annum for a period of 15 years” in a letter and then H & MT were like F off you get a £1.5M house until Noah graduates from his first degree and a car and the sons schooling and medical care paid for and “Louis pays” £3,000 per son per year. Had she had an actual lawyer, I’m sure she would’ve gotten more. The fact that she had £58,023 in her bank account from her job, Louis had £21,739 in his for his £35,398 allowance per year from his parents, £1,442 in their joint account and his inheritance allegedly is only €510,750. Kinda sad if that’s the case. She’s messy but has earning potential and Louis without his parents has nothing. And these numbers don’t make sense if Henri is allegedly worth 4 billion… I don’t think the Luxes are that rich or they lied in court.” - Submitted by Anonymous
