HIGH COURT OF SOLOMON ISLANDS


Civil Case No. 18 of 1991


KUPER


-v-


KUPER


High Court of Solomon Islands
(Ward C.J.)


Hearing: 29 August 1991
Ruling: 29 August 1991


M. Samuel for the Petitioner
A. Nori for the Respondent


WARD CJ: I am not willing at this stage to make a decision finally.


I note the difference in age between the girl and the boys. The children clearly are happy together but the mother also has rights.


I shall at this stage order joint custody to both parents and leave care and control with the father. I would like further information about the wife's circumstances at home.


Equally the car is matrimonial property. It may have been paid for by one or other but it was paid out of joint family income.


I direct it is not to be disposed of until further order of the Court but should stay with the father.


(F.G.R. Ward)
CHIEF JUSTICE
