Litigant Abuse Orders - a new power to address the misuse of family law proceedings
The New Zealand Courts have introduced a new power to address the misuse of family law proceedings as a way to harass or control another person. These powers, called Litigant Abuse Orders, were introduced by the Victims of Family Violence (Strengthening Legal Protections) Legislation Act 2025. This has recently come into effect as of 17 February 2026.
