Super Splitting Basis

Valuations are the ‘family law’ value for ‘super splitting’ purposes at the requested date(s). The Family Law doesn’t always require a valuation on that basis but it’s a valid benchmark while the parties can still split the interest.

Super Splitting versus Payout Value

The legal formulae always return a specific value, but they are based on various assumptions that might not match a person’s individual cirmstances, so the value will usually be different to an actual ‘payout’ value, and mustn’t be relied upon as such.

Expert’s Obligations

The super splitting valuation reports fully comply with the expert’s obligations under Part 15.5 of the Family Law Rules 2004, and with Federal Court of Australia Practice Note CM 7. Amongst other things there is an overriding duty to the Court, and the expert is not an advocate for either party.
