A Romanian woman being deported from New Zealand after leaving her partner, has been told she must leave her two-year-old son behind. 34-year-old Nicole Mihai was told by the immigration agency that she will now have to return to Romania as she is not a New Zealand resident. However, the Family Court have ruled that her young son, Chris, is not able to reside further than 50 kilometres from his New Zealand father. She now faces a distressing battle with the immigration agency who insist Chris's future living arrangements 'are not their problem.' A Romanian woman being deported from New Zealand after relationship broke down, has been told she must leave her 2-year-old son, Chris behind . Nicole Mihai was told by New Zealand Immigration that once her Visa expires, she must return to Romania . 'I go to sleep at night and and wake up in the morning and think today may be the last day with my son,' Ms. Mihai told Daily Mail Australia. 'I go to sleep at night and and wake up in the morning and think today may be the last day with my son,' Ms Mihai said . Ms. Mihai separated from her New Zealand born partner after a two-year relationship. She was awarded full custody of their son, with her ex partner having little contact with Chris. Once they separated, immigration had Ms Mihai's Visa cancelled. 'I had to apply for a temporary Visa and residency,' she said. 'That was almost a year ago, and I've been fighting with them ever since.' According to Ms Mihai, the Immigration Agency have informed her that her application has nothing to do with Chris and therefore he is none of their concern. 'Immigration doesn't take all of the facts into consideration,' she said. In order for Chris to move to Romania to be with his mother, his father would need to sign a contract allowing him to go, which Ms Mihai strongly doubts. 'Even if he signed and Chris were to come with me, we would have to live in a two bedroom home with my mother, my sister and her child,' she said. 'It would be very hard for me to get a job and my mother cannot support all of us.' Ms Mihai moved to New Zealand seven years ago and worked as a waitress on minimum wage. She admits that she does struggle just like all other single mothers, but she has a new job as a branch manager and her and her son are happy in New Zealand. 'My son was born here... He doesn't know anything else,' Ms Mihai said. A ruling from the Family Court said Ms Mihai's son Chris must remain within 50 kilometres of his Kiwi father . The 34-year-old vows to fight this battle until the end and will not give up her life with her son . 'From Monday to Friday, eight til six, he's in daycare with his friends and for me to take him to a strange place where he doesn't know anybody would be very difficult for him.' Ms Mihai does not know when the end point to this battle will be, but she has had her temporary Visa extended until June 26 which is when she is expecting to receive a final decision. However she said she will fight this battle until the end and will not give up her life with Chris. 'I'd rather die than live one day without my son,' she said. 'I'm just hoping that everything will get sorted and I can just move on with my life and my son's life.'
