Working out a new family balance after separation Working out a new family balance after separation doesn’t happen all at once. It’s built step by step, with clear priorities, structure, and the right support.

Start small. Focus on what matters most right now, like your children’s routine and creating stability. From there, simple agreements around communication and day-to-day arrangements can make things feel far more manageable.

If you’re struggling to find the right balance, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Book a clarity call through the link in our bio to create a plan that supports your family moving forward. 🌈
At Bespoke, we often talk about recovering, rebuil At Bespoke, we often talk about recovering, rebuilding, and moving forward. While family law gives you the tools, it’s your mindset, support system, and goals that shape what comes next.

We encourage our clients to pause, reflect, and gain clarity before making important decisions about parenting, property, and their future. It’s something we value as a team too — creating space for honest conversations, support, and perspective so we can show up with care and clarity for the people we help.

With the right support and time to reflect, you can make decisions that not only resolve the now, but build the future you want next. 💕

When it comes to dividing finances after separatio When it comes to dividing finances after separation, superannuation is often one of the most misunderstood pieces.

💭 A question we’re often asked is: How's super dealt with in the settlement? Here’s a simple way to think about it.

Here are the three most common options we explore...

1️⃣ Super splitting. This is where a portion of one person’s super balance is transferred into the other person’s super fund. What amount is transferred will depend on your situation and the mix of assets to be received. 

2️⃣ Each party keeps their own super. Instead of splitting super, each person keeps their own super and the value of each person's super is considered alongside the other assets and liabilities in the balance sheet. To achieve the desired division, instead of there being a super split, there may be a cash payment by one party to the other. 

3️⃣ Mix of a super split and cash payment. This is where a party may receive a super split as well as a cash payment from the other person. This is often an option to balance out the amount of the cash payment when someone may not have the borrowing capacity to pay a larger cash payment. 

Which option is the best?

It depends on what’s important to you, your financial position, and what your future needs look like. For example, some people prioritise long-term retirement savings, while others need more immediate access to funds to re-accommodate and move forward. This is where understanding your full financial picture becomes so important.

The right approach is the one that supports your next chapter, not just what it looks like on paper. If you’re unsure which option might suit your situation, we can help you explore what this could look like for you.
