Have you considered looking for another job that you'd be happier with? Then you could apply for a Work Permit linked to that employer. I know if you move from one job to another i.e. when the first job is linked to a WP, you need to apply for a variation in the conditions of the WP (at a cost, of course ::) ). However, I don't know how you stand if your WP is linked to your former partner.

Regardless, you will obviously need some form of WP come October when your current one expires and you can't work without one. Kill 2 birds with one stone - get a new job and apply for a WP for that new job. Your new employer should be able to assist you in this. I doubt you'd need to wait until October to do this either.

If in doubt, check out what NZIS have to suggest on the matter.
