Whether superannuation will be split and if so, in what proportions, will depend upon the circumstances of a particular relationship. Relevant factors may include:
- If the primary carer of children can keep the home if superannuation is split;
- The ages of the parties;
- The value of the net asset pool and the proportion of that pool that is represented by superannuation;
- Tax implications of any superannuation split.
