Taking the right steps towards family dispute resolution
12 September, 2014 | Smith and Partners
The NZ government recently developed a larger support system for resolving care of children disputes, which involves minimal legal/court intervention. If you’ve found yourself in a dispute regarding the care of your children and unsure how to navigate the new system, follow this flow chart to understand the next steps. If you’re not in dispute but still need an informal agreement in place, we can explain what to do next.
