[0] => The process for the dissolution of marriages began with the commencement of the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act 1867, which allowed the Supreme Court of New Zealand (renamed the High Court of New Zealand in 1980) to hear and decide on divorce cases. During the twentieth and twenty-first centuries the process of dissolution evolved, with cases being heard in the Family Court from 1981. From 2005 dissolution also covered civil unions (same-sex marriages).
