;D Got the Statutory Declaration signed at last, what a pantomine.
To JustNoZi when you say wee girl, I take it she is quite young and does the ex partner have Parental Resposibility or were they married?
She could try sitting down with him and having an adult conversation, I know its hard when you can't stand the person and they are being unreasonable. I know, I have just been there.
If he says no, then she may have to go and get advice from a solicitor and may have to consider court action and this won't be cheap. She isn't necessarily going to win unless she can show the court that you both will be able to care and support her in New Zealand. Jobs, home, school, money, that kind of thing.
That's as much advice as I can offer at the moment.
I don't know how you go about it if she is coming on like a visitors visa or working visa, I think Glenda knows more about that.
Goodluck
