New Zealand Family Law Plans Now Available

OMPN Team

Open Matter Plans Network

We are pleased to announce that 17 matter plans covering New Zealand family law are now live in the registry. This marks our second jurisdiction expansion into the Asia-Pacific region, following the launch of Australian plans earlier this year.

Coverage

The new plans cover the core family law practice areas under the Care of Children Act 2004, Property (Relationships) Act 1976, and the Family Violence Act 2018. Each plan is built from the legislation and the published guidance of the Family Court, and every authority is checked against a primary source.

  • Parenting order applications under the Care of Children Act 2004
  • Relationship property division (married, civil union, and de facto)
  • Dissolution of marriage or civil union
  • Protection order applications, for the applicant
  • Responding to a protection order under the Family Violence Act 2018

Suggest an Improvement

Every task in these plans carries a suggestion button. Practitioners can propose a correction or an addition, and each suggestion is reviewed in the open before it changes the plan.
