Hi all,
Asking this question on behalf of someone:
There was an incident few weeks ago involving the man assaulting and attacking partner's daughter ( not his own daughter ), and police arrested him, he is in prison at the moment.
The daughter have been suffering from epilepsy and there was some turmoil and chaos following this incident.
He will appear in the court soon. Not sure what will be the final verdict.
The accused is a permanent resident. Rest of the family are NZ citizens, and the partner is now getting a divorce.
The partner and children have obtained a 3 months protection order against him.
I am trying to find out the following:
Could domestic violence cause deportation for him?
What will be the other consequences of this incident in terms of his future in NZ and the safety of the rest of the family members ?
I heard that jailed for three months or more can result in deportation for permanent residents.
Thanks for your inputs.
