absent the laws in Australia appear to be different to those in the UK regarding division of property if a couple separate. In Australia de facto and married couples are treated the same. If you have been together for at least three years your partner/spouse are entitled to a share of your property. Have you checked to see where you stand in regard to NZ laws. Your partner could leave you and be entitled to a large portion of your property.
