I’m not real sure what they want on the first part comments about my previous relationship and children. I’m assuming he referring to my ex wife but not sure what to say. Has anyone had this asked of them? I can do the rest but this one has me wondering. We’ve been divorced 10 years and I’m married to my current wife for 8 years.

Thx

When I supplied my application I provided a two page cover sheet with details about how we met, the circumstances of our living arrangements and relationship, and our future plans. It was somewhat rambling, to be honest--but I never had any indication from INZ that they doubted our relationship.

As ever, I shan't provide advice, but if I were in your position I would do the same, just write a letter and provide lots of details, "I split with my X on this date, then I met my Kiwi partner through this mutual friend, she knows the friend from work, I know her from tennis club, we spent time together at this location, eventually she moved in, blah, blah..." My assessment was that they are looking for details to prove the relationship is valid.

I get that part but the questions about the relationship between my current spouse and my prev relationship is weird to me

If these two women don't actually know one another, or have hardly ever seen each other, that is all you can tell them. The wording you quote doesn't ask about a relationship between them, but asks for your present partner's comments on your previous partnership. I suppose, for the sake of knowing you have a secure relationship NOW, they want to know that she is not bothered by the fact that you had a previous partner, and how she gets on with your children from that partnership, if she has any contact with them.

Thanks that makes more sense to me I was reading it wrong.
