Overview

Superannuation splitting orders can be complicated to create. The law requires that the trustee of the superfund being split has the chance to review and object to the draft orders before they are submitted to the court for approval.

Important

Depending on whether you are the superfund member, the drafting of the super splitting orders setting out how and when the super interest gets split, can be to your advantage or not.

It’s wise to have an experienced family lawyer review your draft superannuation splitting orders and your entire financial separation agreement before you sign anything.
