Superannuation Splits – A Vital Part of Family Law

Navigating through a divorce or separation can be an overwhelmingly difficult experience. One of the key issues of contention can often be regarding superannuation splits. At JK Lawyers, our experienced team of family law solicitors provides professional guidance and support, helping you clearly understand your rights and options.

Understanding the Importance of Superannuation Splits in Family Law

Superannuation is usually one of the most significant assets a couple possesses, aside from the family home. Consequently, how superannuation is divided can significantly impact each party’s financial future post-separation or divorce.

Superannuation splits in family law involve dividing superannuation assets between both parties in a relationship breakdown. Rules for superannuation splitting are complex and change based on the type of superannuation fund and the fund’s rules. It’s essential when considering superannuation splits to seek expert legal advice from experienced family law solicitors like JK Lawyers.
