Hi All,
I sponsored my partner under the partnership category so he could live in NZ with me. After arriving here he became abusive toward me, physically, verbally, financially, sexually..... you name it he did it!! I didn't do anything about it at the time because I was afraid of him and he always made me feel bad if I tried to leave him saying he had given up everything to be here with me.
About 1 year ago he got a residency. As time went by I became less and less able to deal with him. One night he was totally out of control and I called the police, they came they arrested and he went through the courts.... he re-offended with me before it was the last time for me and I left him for good.
Initially I wanted to protect him, I still felt guilt, but now he is pleading not guilty in the courts he continues to harass me even though he is on bail conditions not to contact me. I am still terrified he will come here an harm me..... I am wondering if I were to tell immigration about what is going on if they would send him home, or is that not possible because he has residency now?
I also think it would be best for him to be sent home as i believe he will re-offend with another woman when he moves on.
Any Info on this would be much appreciated, I do not want to go directly to immigration as I am worried they will start asking questions and he will find out I have told them and harm me before they can take action.... if they will take action at all....
