The appeal is dismissed because the appellant admits the identity established in prior decisions, the detention is authorised by a valid warrant, and previous appellate and Supreme Court authorities have rejected sovereignty-based challenges to jurisdiction, so no illegality of detention was shown.

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.
