Kennon and subsequent cases indicate that a small adjustment will be made but only in exceptional circumstances.<\/p><p><em><strong>Kennon and Kennon [1997]<\/strong><\/em> FamCA 27; (1997) 22 Fam LR 1<\/p><p>In Kennon, the Full Court of the Family Court recognised family violence as a relevant issue in assessing the adjustment that should be made in a property settlement case. In that case there was a 4-year marriage and no children and a history of domestic violence assaults.<\/p><p><em><strong>Devon &amp; Devon [2014] FCCA 1566<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p>In Devon, the parties were married for 31 years and had 4 adult children, including one with an intellectual disability. There were no significant assets at the start of the marriage and it was accepted that the husband ran the family business and the wife was the homemaker and main carer of the children.<\/p><p>There was an additional loading in the wife\u2019s favour of a further 15 per cent based on future needs. Ultimately the wife received 70% of the asset pool and retained her superannuation (as did the husband), a percentage which included her claim for spousal maintenance.<\/p><p><em><strong>Scott &amp; Scott [2015] FCCA 2394<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p>In Scott the parties had 3 children aged 16,17 and 20 years. The wife argued family violence by the husband and for an adjustment of the property in her favour between 65% and 80% which included a Kennon adjustment.<\/p><p>The wife gave evidence of family violence. She was isolated from her family and friends and the husband did not allow her to return home to spend time with her dying mother. The husband had physically assaulted her and there was verbal and physical abuse throughout the marriage witnessed by the children. The husband unsuccessfully argued that the wife\u2019s evidence of family violence was not corroborated.<\/p><p>Importantly, the FLA does not require independent verification of allegations of family violence (such as police or medical reports) for a court to be satisfied that it has occurred.
