Abstract
New Zealand’s social policy on marriage breakdown is at present in a state of transition. How the financial needs of the parties to such a breakdown are met is an ever-increasing important part of that policy. This article touches on several aspects of the problem by drawing comparisons with the position in England, and it is the writer’s view that considerable advantage could be gained by a study of the English system.
Keywords: Spousal Maintenance, Law Reform, Divorce, State Responsibility, Welfare System.
