Abstract

Divorce in New Zealand is going through massive procedural reform. One of the reforms contemplated is to adopt a similar system to the English “Special Procedure.” This article describes the procedure and the advantages that it may bring. However, the author puts major caveats on the system before it could be successfully integrated into the New Zealand system of divorce.

Keywords: Divorce, No-fault, Separation, Law Reform, Special Procedure.
