My ex-husband and I settled our finanical and child matters in June 2011. During the settlement I was told I had no claim to his long service leave value as it had not been realised. He has since cashed it in and has received the finanical payout during the last financial year. Do I have a claim to it as I assume he new whilst we were in proceedings that he would be cashing it in? Thanks in advance

Good evening,
Hello, my question pertains to his long service leave benefit not superannuation. We agreed to keep our own superannuation, and this was documented in our final orders. Settlement was done all by orders. I was legally represented and my first lawyer told me I had claim to his long service leave value. The court appointed lawyer overseaing our pre trial hearing told me until it was realised I did not. She did say that if he did then go and 'cash them in' I could then have a claim after the fact. Is this correct? Thanks

At the end of this post you will see 5 faces asking you to rate my work. Selecting either of the 2 the unhappy faces means you are not happy with my answer and do not wish me to be paid for my work. The other 3 mean I am paid.

I am here to assist you as quickly as possible, and you rating each post will delay the process as it does not tell me what the issue is. I would prefer you ask me questions than rating the response and not providing me with further questions.
I am pretty sure he was already in talks with his employer that he was going to take a redundency or sell back his long service leave prior to us settleling our financial agreement. We were together for 15 years so the majority of it was acrued during our relationship. So I suppose my question is if it can be proven that he knew he was going to get it prior to us settleling, but did not do it until after, do I have a case to claim it? THanks.
Good Evening
