De facto separation with super split

OK, so now we know you need a de facto separation agreement with super split provisions. Read on...

Ending a long term relationship is never easy and there can be much emotional and financial fallout as the couple negotiate the separation process.

By law, de facto couples are not required to formally document the end of the relationship.  You can just divide any assets or property between yourselves, and move on with your life.

However, such arrangements leave the door wide open for either party to make a future application to the family court for financial orders, essentially taking a second bite of the cherry.

Our lawyers drafted the following agreement specifically for a separated de facto couple who need to include super splitting in their property settlement.

It includes all of the normal provisions or clauses you will find in our 90UD binding financial agreement with the addition of  clauses that deal with the splitting of superannuation assets.  These extra clauses detail your instructions to the super fund trustee about how the couple wish to divide their superannuation entitlements.

Superannuation is special kind of asset which falls under superannuation laws like the SIS Act (Superannuation Industry Supervision Act). Payments made from one party to the other must be retained in an “approved deposit fund” until retirement age and therefore, are not normally available as cash.

You may have one or more funds you wish to split, but generally people will only split one fund, as it can get somewhat complicated and expensive if you are trying to coordinate more than one fund and trustee.

We’ve drafted this document to make dealing with the superannuation splitting component of your agreement as painless as possible.  You can express how you wish to divide the funds, either as a percentage  (eg. 60% / 40%), or as a nominated sum (eg. $60,000).  This amount should be transferred or rolled over to the other party’s super fund.

You simply need to use one of the two document templates provided in this kit.

It’s more straightforward than you might think

Some of these issues may seem a little daunting at first, but given the right template to start, some sample clauses and a little guidance, you will be surprised how straight forward it actually is.

Common property settlement issues include:

  • whether one party will pay financial support (spousal maintenance) to the other, which would be in addition to child support;
  • how to deal with savings, share portfolios, and other investments;
  • how to deal with future windfalls or an inheritance;
  • how to determine who retains ownership of furniture and household goods if agreement cannot be reached;
  • clarifying who is responsible for certain debts or liabilities;
  • clarifying ownership or control of family businesses, companies and trust accounts.

Living Under the One Roof?

It’s useful to know that even though most separated couples live apart in separate residences, the Act does provide for a couple to be classed as separated even though you may be living together under the one roof.  So you can still take care of the property settlement issues and live under the same roof.
