A Family Court judge has found that a father’s repeated livestream commentary about his former partner crossed the line into psychological abuse and family violence, highlighting the legal risks of unmoderated social-media “story time” exposés.
After the couple separated, the man began broadcasting several times a week to hundreds of followers, naming his ex-partner and allowing his new partner and regular viewers to make insulting and hostile remarks about her without intervening.
Despite warnings from Netsafe and the woman’s lawyer, the conduct continued, culminating in a temporary protection order and a defended hearing.
According to a report in state-funded media, the judge found the father had created a “dynamic of conflict,” effectively condoned the attacks and should have anticipated that the comments would eventually reach his former partner even though she did not watch the streams herself. His behaviour was found to form a pattern intended to “control, demean and manipulate” the woman, with a further hearing to decide whether the protection order should become final.
Yet psychological abuse can only come from a man according to New Zealand courts.
I like the word final. Can be applied to any argument.
Finally, men are walking away. Not engaging in financial and career ending activities resulting in well below replacement birth rates, separate housing along with infrastructure costs and a shift towards independency.
Whomever created the idea that three years after a relationship breakup is enough to strip men of their property and add ongoing financial responsibility. Usually, because of parental alienation. Surely that must be psychological abuse.
Ignored by the courts, men are now ignoring woman and choose to hire some young a women with the morals of a rabbit.
There’s a new sheriff in town, her name is Pauline Hanson. Another reason for men to exit New Zealand and live safe prosperous fulfilling lives in Australia.
Australia is as bad if not worse than NZ on the rights of men. I can’t see One Nation fixing this, either. There are already signs they wont be a lot different to the likes of Labor, on key issues, including immigration. They probably will fix the dystopian hate speech laws but much else, well I think what will change will be less than what stays the same.
If a relationship ends, the smart thing to do is move on, in my estimation. Hard yes but better than dwelling on past hurts.
Any decent man certainly does not stay in Godzone for the Sheilas.
Dumb, entitled, opinionated, ugly, fat and uneducated, the majority of females think they can trap men with lascivious gold-digger bitch attitude, which is then backed by the cucks of the family court mafia to finance their leeching. The children are the tools.
Times-are-a-changing and men are wising up.
There are ways for men to enjoy what they need, much cheaper and safer than a marriage. Sadly, that is not what societies are built on.
