Divorces

Method of Collection The Family Court where the Dissolution Order is granted completes a Dissolution of Marriage Form JS/FP/03. Each month, the JS/FP/03 forms are sent to the Population Statistics Unit, Statistics New Zealand, where the information is processed. The JS/FP/03 is usually accompanied by a copy of the Family Court Information sheet (sometimes called a FP7 or G7). The Information sheet is used to validate the information recorded on the JS/FP/03. Processing errors There is always the chance of processing errors happening but quality control measures are in place. These include: Verification of outliers. Checking for valid codes. Removal of duplicate records. Following up missing responses. en-NZ
