We've split up! Is our student loan debt considered relationship property?
Say you and your ex-partner both have student loan debt. While you were together, they worked more while you were the day-to-day caregiver to your kids and reduced your employment hours.
Inevitably, their student loan is all paid off. Yours...not so much.
Then, when you separated, they refused to allow your student loan debt to be included in relationship property.
It all seems incredibly unfair. But what does the law say?
In this episode, Susan answers questions about:
- Why can't the government cause a decrease in costs to the consumer by making the big companies take less profit?
- Why nothing has been done to compensate for or reduce road user charges when the price of diesel is so high.?
- Is student loan debt included in relationship property?
- If I don't qualify for the Australian pension can I get NZ Super instead?
- How long do I have to have lived in New Zealand to qualify for Superannuation?
- And active or passive wealth managers - which are getting the best returns?
If you have a money question you'd like Susan to answer, put it in an email or voice memo, then send it to [email protected].
