We Serve Trespass Notices & Dissolution of Marriage (Divorce) Applications.
We serve dissolution of marriage (divorce) applications in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and throughout every region of New Zealand.
In simple terms, dissolving a marriage or civil union is the legal term for divorce. The Family Court in New Zealand can end your marriage or civil union by making an order for dissolving your marriage.
The Family Court has the authority to legally end your marriage or civil union once you and you partner have lived apart for a minimum of two years. If you have children together the Family Court must be satisfied that arrangements have been made for their care and welfare.
There are two types of marriage dissolution applications:
1. If both you and your partner want a divorce – If you have grounds to do so, both you and your partner, you need to ask the Family Court for a marriage of dissolution order.

If you are applying for an order, you (or your legal representative) become responsible for ensuring that your application is correctly served on the recipient.

Serving New Zealand Trespass Notices
We serve trespass notices in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and throughout every region of New Zealand
In New Zealand there is no legal requirement to give a trespass notice in writing – however a written document reinforces the situation for the person, they cannot say they did not know of the notice and of the requirement to leave and not return.
There are two ways to deliver a trespass notice:
1. Verbal trespass
If you deliver a trespass notice verbally, it is advisable to record the date and time along with the reason for giving a trespass notice to that person. Also record the name or description of the person asked to leave.
2. Written trespass
If you undertake a written trespass, complete three copies of the Trespass Notice: One copy to the person you are serving, one copy for you to keep, one copy to give to your nearest police station for their records (this is used if enforcement be required). To serve a notice you simply hand it to the person. If they refuse to accept it and it drops on the ground, it is still considered served.
Keep that copy and note down that the person refused to accept the notice. You are required to give a reasonable time for the trespasser to leave. If the person stays or takes an unreasonable time to comply, call the Police.
What do you do if the recipient decides to ignore the trespass notice?
If someone comes back after you have given them a trespass notice they will have committed an offence, immediately call the Police. It is an offence punishable by a fine not exceeding $1,000.00 or imprisonment not exceeding 3 months to enter an address that you have been trespassed from within 2 years from the date of receiving the notice.
