My husband is trying to claim 40% of my superannuation. I am told that any superannuation claim includes even the amount of super made after the date of separation. Does anybody know if that is correct?
I earn 180k, he earns 75k. My superannuation is over 100k, his is less than 35k. He is claiming 40% of my superannuation. I took away 30k of debt from our relationship. He took the car, I also paid half his rent for 6 months (ended up paying around 50k of his expense).
We have 50/50 care and custody of children. He shares no costs with me. I pay for everything for our child despite 50/50 care. I pay him child support (due to earning more). Husband claims he was the primary carer despite maintaining the same full time job for the last 10 years. Husband claims he held his career back to care for our child while allowing me to excel.
I refute his claim of primary carer and holding his career back for me and our child.
Based on the above, can he take any of my super? I can provide evidence that he was not the primary carer in the form of childcare receipts, me being the primary contact at school, etc., and my parents' are helping out massively with childcare.
He refuses to negotiate as his lawyer told him not too. He just wants to go to court. I’ve been told the legal fees could be so big as to reduce any property settlement to minus numbers after lawyer fees!
