Just wondering if anyone can confirm / deny what I noticed on another thread in relation to superannuation splitting when getting a divorce.
Is only the superannuation earned during the relationship taken into consideration? All I've read is that the entire superannuation of both parties is totalled, then divided by the agreed % for the asset pool.
It seems odd to me that the financial position of both parties when the relationship started is taken into consideration when deciding how to split the asset pool, but super is just totalled and split, regardless of each parties balance when the relationship started.
