Superannuation and divorce in Australia: an evaluation of post-reform legal practice and property settlement outcomes

该项目评估了新的《2001年家庭法立法修正案（养老金）法》的影响，该法将养老金列为可在当事人之间分割的财产。它调查了法院、法律的顾问和离婚当事方在婚姻结束时考虑退休金的方式。根据以往的研究，本研究假设这些群体在实际实施这一改革方面会遇到困难，而且各种程序、社会和财政因素可能会限制这一改革的广泛实施。这项研究对于确保改革能够改善退休期间的财务保障-特别是对妇女来说-至关重要。

The project evaluates the impact of the new Family Law Legislation Amendment (Superannunation) Act 2001, which includes superannuation as property that can be split between the parties. It investigates the ways in which the Courts, legal advisers and divorcing parties take superannuation into account when marriages end. This research assumes, on the basis of previous studies, that these groups will have difficulties applying this reform in practice, and that various procedural, social and financial factors may limit the broad application of this reform. This research is crucial to ensure that the reform results in improved financial security during retirement - especially for women.
