Superannuation-Split

Superannuation Splitting in Consent Orders

Superannuation is often the largest asset outside the family home. A super fund can be legally split, with a portion transferred to your former partner’s fund.

This requires highly specific drafting. You cannot simply ask the court to split the fund: the superannuation trustee must be notified first and must review your proposed orders, providing a letter confirming no objection to the split. Without that letter, the court will reject the application.
