CASE: Seymour v Seymour [2024] NSWSC 699
WARNING: disturbing content; DV.
In 1971, Terence Seymour became the father to a little boy named Mark Seymour. 3 years later, Terence left his family and had little contact with his son after that.
Fast forward to 1991 and Terence married Helen Mary Seymour. He was still married to Helen at the date of his death 31 years later in July 2022.
3 weeks before he died, Terence had made his last Will that left his entire estate to Helen.
Mark made an application seeking provision from his late father's estate.
What responsibility did Terence have to provide for the son he had left behind?
