That’s not my experience at all.He's likely to be able to get a discount for any assets that he brought into the marriage, e.g., his Port Adelaide jumper, (as Tanya is too) - the problem is, the assets are valued at the time that they were brought into the marriage (not current market value), so if the assets have accrued value over the life of the marriage, then that improved value is shared.
It’s the value at the time of settlement, not even of the actual break up.
For example, the real estate is valued at that moment, super, and other items valued at their sale value at that time.
Otherwise, if I bought a house 20 years ago when we were just dating, it would be valued at $450k not $1.5M.
If there’s a legal eagle to tell me I’m mistaken, please let me know.
