New Zealand legal problems solved without an appointment
What is New Zealand law? It comes from statutes enacted by the New Zealand Parliament and decisions of the Courts of New Zealand. Basically, in New Zealand, the legal system is based on three related principles: parliamentary sovereignty; the rule of law; and the separation of powers.
Because it was formerly a British colony, the law in New Zealand is heavily based on the English law, with some culturally-driven differences.
For example, gun laws in New Zealand are notably more liberal than in England and in many other countries in the Pacific, and focus mainly on

How to get help with a New Zealand legal problem
The Experts have answered hundreds of questions, including questions like:
- Can Maori land be changed to general, or a section with a house on it be surveyed and sold??
- I currently have some charges under New Zealand gun laws. What can I do about the quantities being listed in the summary as much more than they actually were?
- I’m in a custody battle, and my husband wants to take the children away from me for long periods even though I’ve been the primary caregiver. My barrister is tied up with other cases. Can my husband do that legally?
- I’m concerned about my brother’s mental condition. I have Power of Attorney, so what are my rights to get him the help that he might need?
When you speak with an Expert on JustAnswer, be prepared to answer questions about:
- The state where you live or the legal problem exists
- What has been filed, reported or court-adjucated already
- Any other circumstances that might impact the legal opinion
