Child custody as primary carer - Fathers Vs Mothers
Zane Collins made this Official Information request to Ministry of Justice
Response to this request is long overdue. By law Ministry of Justice should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.
From: Zane Collins
Dear Ministry of Justice,
I require the statitics as below from NZ family court for every year from 1990 - 2016
- Total Number of mothers who applied to the family court for full parenting order / custody as primary carer for their children and how many applications were granted from the total applications.
-Total Number of fathers who applied to the family court for full parenting order / custody as primary carer of their children and how many applications were granted from these applications.
Yours faithfully,
Zayne collins

Ministry of Justice
Dear Mr Collins
Thank you for your OIA request submitted through FYI website.
However, the Ministry does not have any reports linking application
details to order details and is therefore unable to answer your
questions. However, the Ministry can provide the following statistics
which you may find useful on the:
• relationship profile of applicants in parenting order
applications (whether the applicant was a grandparent, father, mother or
other), where it is recorded
• number of final full time day-to-day care orders by
relationship to the child/children.
Please note that this information is only available from mid-2005 when the
Care of Children Act 2004 came into force.
Could you please advise if you would prefer any of this information
instead?
Regards
Antony

Hi Zane
Thanks for your email.
Because the Ministry clarified your request within the first seven working days on 31 January, which you accepted, this replaced your original request and a response to this is due before 1 March.
See section 15 (1AA) of the Act. http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/publi...
I trust this clarifies the situation.
Cheers
Antony
