After separation
It’s the whole picture — super, trusts and investments included. We work carefully and transparently so outcomes feel fair and understood.
Courts consider the asset pool (including super), each party’s contributions (financial and non-financial), and future needs (care of children, income, health). Outcomes must be ‘just and equitable’. We’ll model options in a way that makes sense.
Disclosure is mandatory; superannuation can be split; time limits apply after divorce or end of de facto; document agreements via consent orders or a binding financial agreement. We’ll keep the paperwork orderly and the tone steady.
Gather & value
We identify the full asset pool (including super, trusts/companies) and organise disclosure/valuations without fuss.
Negotiate or mediate
We test options against contributions and future needs, sense-check tax/costs, and aim for a durable agreement that feels workable day-to-day.
Make it binding
We draft consent orders or a BFA and guide implementation (super split, transfers, securities) — so certainty arrives efficiently but firmly.
• Recent bank, mortgage and super statements.
• Titles/company/trust records (where relevant).
• Valuations/tax returns and any loan agreements.
• Notes on contributions (financial and non-financial).
Negotiated matters often settle in weeks to a few months (valuations drive timing). Implementation follows promptly with our checklists and updates — no loose ends.
All assets and liabilities of both parties, including superannuation and interests in trusts/companies, less debts.

No. Many settlements are reached by negotiation or mediation and made binding via consent orders or a BFA.
They may be relevant to the asset pool or resources; disclosure and valuations are often needed.
It depends on timing and how they were used; they may impact contributions or be treated as a financial resource.
Yes. Full and frank disclosure is required; lack of disclosure can undermine an agreement or lead to adverse inferences.
