They also tried to include the children's bank accounts but the judge ruled that out as well because the ten years worth of statements I gave as evidence showed that there were never any withdrawals and only deposits.
The judges statement also indicated a 65-35% split in my favour was a more than likely outcome, so, as riff and his friends did I offered her the house as full and final settlement or take her chances on the day with the judge.

She accepted, and I got to keep everything else including my self managed super.
So that's probably why we kept are super then.
It seems like it's the judge's discretion.
I even had a female judge but she was pretty good.
We had to go through remediation a bit later to sort out custody arrangements. Of course she wanted the kids more, means more child support for her.
You can't avoid child support unless you do a cash job.
