Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a divorce take in New Zealand?

In New Zealand, a divorce (dissolution of marriage) typically takes at least three months from filing to finalization. You must be separated for at least two years before applying. The process can take longer if there are disputes over property, children, or other matters.

Do I need a lawyer for divorce in New Zealand?

While it's possible to file for divorce without a lawyer in New Zealand, having legal representation is highly recommended, especially if there are children, property, or financial assets involved. A lawyer ensures your rights are protected and helps navigate complex legal processes.

How is property divided after divorce in New Zealand?

New Zealand follows the principle of equal division under the Property (Relationships) Act. Generally, relationship property is divided equally (50/50) unless there are extraordinary circumstances. Separate property (acquired before the relationship or by inheritance/gift) usually remains with the original owner.

What are my custody rights in New Zealand?

In New Zealand, the Care of Children Act focuses on the best interests of the child. Both parents have equal rights to apply for day-to-day care (custody) or contact (visitation). The court encourages shared parenting arrangements where possible, but decisions are based on what's best for the child's welfare.
