Hello,
A dear friend of mine is going through an awful time.
She had ongoing health issues a couple of years ago which led to major brain surgery and being pensioned out of the public service and can no longer work. Then the divorce hit (nice eh?!) which is currently underway. She is in her 50s.
The other party is younger, didn't work much in the early days of their marriage, but is now on a very decent salary and has good future earning capacity. Her super prior to being pensioned out was more than double his.
How does her super get considered in this situation and both parties' capacity to earn? Her super has been quarantined to cover a modest annual salary with no option to add to it.
She is worried she will lose much of what she worked so hard for.
She also has their two kids 95% of the time.
Hope this makes sense and grateful for any wisdom. She can't afford fancy lawyers for obvious reasons!
