Superannuation
Remember that the Attorney-General's Department is not able to give legal advice to individuals about their specific circumstances. Therefore, this information is general information only and is not legal advice. Any answers that we give to individual questions will only be about the general provisions of the superannuation splitting laws - and not legal advice. If you think that you may want to use the superannuation splitting laws, you should consult a legal practitioner. For general information on superannuation, see the Australian Tax Office website.
This information has been prepared by the Family Law Branch of the Australian Government Attorney-General's Department to help people understand the superannuation splitting laws and how they will operate.
On 28 December 2002, the superannuation splitting laws, about splitting superannuation interests on marriage breakdown, will commence operation.
