From the minute I spoke to Brendan when I made that initial enquiry, I knew I had stumbled across something great (just by surfing the web)..

I can highly recommend the team at Kate Austin Family Lawyers. They prepared Consent Orders and also organised the property transfers. From beginning to end everyone has been very friendly, professional and helpful and the whole process has been extremely stress free. The fees definitely did not break the bank and worth every $ to know that the process is done properly the first time. Jessica in particular has been very reassuring to me and it's been greatly appreciated. Thank you Kate Austin Lawyers!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

Brendan and Rachel were very easy to work with, personable, easy-going and thoroughly professional. My consent order was very complicated however Brendan and Rachel were there to take me through each step along the way. Every step was described clearly and the process went absolutely smoothly and efficiently as possible. They were available for any questions by emails, text message and phone calls 7 days a week, which made the process of preparing Consent Orders as efficient as it can be. As tough as it could be during the most challenging times in most people live, they were there to support and ensure that everything is fine and. Their knowledge, understanding and support is impeccable. So professional yet down to earth. Highly recommended. I can’t thank them enough for the great work they have done for my family.

If I had to do it again, I know where to find them.

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness, Value

I stumbled across Kate Austin Family Lawyers via google. As my wife and I just needed to get our financial and superannuation matters finalised it was a no brainer to go with a firm that offered this type of service. I cannot recommend them highly enough, communication was very efficient and our consent orders were completed in a very short time. I highly recommend this business to anyone going through separation.

Superannuation Splitting with Consent Orders Qlg

When a marriage or de facto relationship breaks down property can be divided between the parties with the use of Consent Orders

Superannuation is treated as property under the Family Law Act 1975 but it differs from other types of property because it is held in a trust.

Superannuation can be split either by:

an order of the Family Court or Federal Magistrate Court- (Consent Order)
or
a superannuation agreement (a financial agreement that deals with a superannuation interest).

Part VIIIB of the Family Law Act 1975– external site gives a court the power to deal with superannuation interests of spouses (including de facto spouses).

It also:

provides the framework for a court to make orders to distribute superannuation interests of the parties
covers superannuation agreements.

The Family Law (Superannuation) Regulations 2001– external site set out:

the methods of valuing superannuation interests
the way in which the payment split is to be put into effect
the information that the trustees have to provide.

Superannuation Splitting Orders are quite complex – If you are looking to undertake this process please contact our office to discuss the process. We will advise how best to use your Consent Orders QLD to achieve your outcome.
