Relationship property disputes are a complicated area of the law in New Zealand.
When a couple separate all relationship property maybe divided equally between them.

- Contemplating entering into a long-term relationship
- Are the beneficiary of a Family Trust or wish to set up your own Family Trust
- If your partner has died within the last six months
