关于离婚分居的问题。

07510919731

请教下新西兰这边的离婚流程，其中一条是分居满2年才可以完成最终离婚，关于这个2年分居是定期会有人去家访确认么？还是说可以继续住一起，只需要双发把自己的地址改到朋友家，等2年分居期满后就可以正式离婚了？由于工作地点，房贷等一些列问题，双方都搬离现有住宅，即便是找房客把现有房子整租(我们的位置也不是那么好租的......)，自身的租房以及还贷压力也很大，不知道可不可以继续住一起，只改地址就行，然后例如联名账户取消等别的流程正常走。

有的事情可以做，不能公开说。

如果双方没有争议的情况，和平分手，分居日期可以互相商量的啊。

不需要改地址，分居可以住在同一个premise

具体怎样证明就不清楚了

如果需要离婚，必须分居两年，最多可以在同一个屋檐下三个月过渡。但事实上不会有人上门查，除非有人举报你们。

It is important to know that you cannot dissolve your marriage or civil union (if either apply to you) unless you have been living apart for at least two years. Read more about dissolution of a marriage or civil union. 

You can apply for dissolution and dissolve your marriage or civil union in New Zealand (even if the ceremony was held overseas) if:

you and your spouse have been separated and living apart for at least two years (this can include brief periods of living together for a total of up to three months but the court must be satisfied that these were attempts at getting back together) and

你好，

“关于这个2年分居是定期会有人去家访确认么？"不会的。

“还是说可以继续住一起，只需要双发把自己的地址改到朋友家，等2年分居期满后就可以正式离婚了？”

不可以提供假信息， 这属于伪证罪。


“由于工作地点，房贷等一些列问题，双方都搬离现有住宅，即便是找房客把现有房子整租(我们的位置也不是那么好租的......)，自身的租房以及还贷压力也很大，不知道可不可以继续住一起，只改地址就行，然后例如联名账户取消等别的流程正常走。”

法定上的分居并没有说你不能住在同一个屋檐下。 FPA 1980里面没有对Living apart 做出定义。

但是PRA 1974 里面写了法院在什么情况下可以出判决来分财产， 其中表明了住在一个屋檐下但是不一起生活了， 可以算为分手。 没有理由FPA 对分手的定义要和PRA不同。

“The court may not make an order under subsection (1) unless it is satisfied,—
(a) in the case of a marriage or civil union,—
(i) that the spouses or civil union partners are living apart (whether or not they have continued to live in the same residence) or are separated; or....”

学到了

Do we have to live apart to be considered separated?
No. You can still be separated even if you continue to live in the same house (sometimes even if you have to continue sharing a room).

However, it could be harder to prove to the court that you were in fact separated for that time. It’s helpful if you can explain why the arrangement was a temporary solution (e.g., you couldn’t break a fixed-term lease). You can also rely on other evidence – for example, if you had divided your finances, if you had started sleeping in a guest room, or if you had told your wider community that you had separated.

In that case it’s particularly helpful to make a separation agreement, so that you can later prove when you separated.

Let me clarify a bit more here.

If the parties are eventually seeking joint application for dissolution of marriage in the Family Court, they will have to separate over two years before such applications can be lodged under the PRA 1976.

There is no statutory defnition of the word "separation". The case laws often suggest what constitute separation should be decided on a case by case situation.

Separation can be made by written agreement such as a s21 agreement or by oral separation. In the case of oral separation, the parties can live under the same rooftop, i.e. in separate rooms or they can even agree orally of the form and manner their separation should take place.

Therefore, it is not correct to say that separation is being "negotiated" but rather the parties have decided together what form of separation they will take for the time to start ticking through the period of two years before applications can be made with the family court for dissolution of marriage.
