first-mentioned partner is reasonably able to do so, if, and only if, that
other party is unable to support herself or himself adequately whether —
(a) by
reason of having the care and control of a child of the de facto relationship
who has not attained the age of 18 years; or
(b) by
reason of age or physical or mental incapacity for appropriate gainful
employment; or

relevant matter referred to in section 205ZD.
