- High Court
Appeal allowed only on the discrete issue that the Family Court erred in principle by failing to account for mortgage interest as part of post‑separation adjustments under s18B; net adjustment of NZD 7,003.50 ordered (NZD 10,610.00 less NZD 3,606.50 credit). All other grounds of appeal dismissed (KiwiSaver, rental board deductions, OnePath premiums, s13 domestic violence claim, jurisdiction/identity). Family Court timing directions varied; costs lie where they fall; leave reserved for any further necessary supplementary orders.
