With the new act that came in, which treats relationships over 3 years, the same a marriage, I believe with a properly worded legal document, you are allowed to contract out of that act. It is best to get something written up by a lawyer, to give to the partner at the beginning of the relationship. If not, then it would be far too high a risk if you have money, to get into a relationship, as you never know if they are only in it for the money. It is yet another stupid NZ law, to treat a relationship the same a marriage. If the couple wanted the financial security of marriage, then they should get married. |

It is just common sense in todays environment, and Lawyers certainly recommend it. The only times I wouldn't do it, is if I had no money or assets, or if we both had assets and money of similar value. If the partner refuses to sign it, then they aren't the person for you., but if you are like minded and compatible, then I am sure that there wouldn't be any issues with them signing it. |

| 817946 | 2009-10-08 05:48:00 | The woman will take everything anyway. Speak for yourself. I broke up with husband once 3 years in, for a short time. I took some appliances and the bed. He kept the rest including the house. All depends on the people involved and whether there was much unpleasantness or not. |

| 817947 | 2009-10-08 05:56:00 | If I had a nagging or cheating partner I'd glady give up half the assets anyway. Depends on the value you put on peace of mind I guess. |

| 817949 | 2009-10-08 05:58:00 | About $1.00 max for my peace of mind. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 817950 | 2009-10-08 06:00:00 | As long as you keep them away. That three years doesn't have to be continuous, does it? I would guess you could deduct time they left you and stayed at mums or were unfaithful. |
