“We’ve Decided to Separate – What Happens Now?“
Making the decision to separate from a long term partner is rarely easy, but staying in a deeply unhappy relationship is no walk in the park either.
If you’ve been struggling with the decision, it can be difficult to know what to do and it’s even more complicated if children are involved.
You have to juggle their needs as well as yours, and you know that even if you and your partner do separate, the children will always be your common bond. It’s not like you can just walk away and never see each other again.
While it isn’t easy dismantling a life, it is more manageable for everyone if you can control the process and part amicably. Separating calmly and consciously is easier on the kids and paves the way for a more harmonious future with your ex-partner.
Separation brings uncertainty
One of the scariest things about breaking up is the uncertainty. All those questions that you can’t answer… What’s going to happen? Where will I live? How will we manage the kids? What will we do about the house? How do we organize the transition? How much will it cost?
Hearing the horror stories about couples who hate each other, go to court and spend thousands in legal fees just makes it worse. It’s not what you want but sometimes you fear that’s how it might end.
It’s only natural to be anxious about the unknown; it’s the way we’re wired as human beings. BUT we can take steps to lessen the fear and the best way is to learn what we don’t know.
Going to court is not the only option
The first thing to understand is that going to Court is NOT the only choice when it comes to the practicalities of separation or property settlement. It is only one of the four options available to you.
Of the other three options, there is a way for you and your partner to organize a property settlement between yourselves that is amicable, legally binding and inexpensive.
It’s perfect for couples who want to dissolve their relationship without fighting and it’s perfect for parents who want to minimize the fallout of their separation.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

scumbags
There are some really awful people around at the moment. This is what happened on Sunday.
We live in Hinemoa Street opposite the Waiwhetu Stream. At around 3.40 in the afternoon I was looking out my window and saw a car pull up and start to feed the geese and ducks out the window. Then The passenger an asian man jumped out and threw himself onto a goose. he picked it up and put it the boot of the car.
I immediately ran over and stood in front of his car to stop him moving I also called my husband to help. A lovely man was riding his bike and saw it and stopped to help me. The driver tried to drive into me but I didnt move. He tried telling us it was his pet. These are wild geese.
They had a cage in the boot and some wire all ready to catch the poor bird like they have done it before. My husband took the bird from the car and released it. I then moved out of the way and after lots of abuse from the driver they drove off threatening to come back and get more.
No one should be allowed to take these beautiful birds and certainly not like this. they are all starting to have wee babies at the moment the whole thing was so upsetting to me. Another neighbour further down the road also saw it all happen.
Please keep a look out for this car and if you see them by the stream go over and watch them lets all stop this happening.
