Ioane Teitiota was deported from New Zealand in September after overstaying his visa.
Lawyer Michael Kidd says Teitiota, his wife and three New Zealand born children, are struggling to settle and want to look at moving to Timor-Leste.
He says Teitiota, his wife and three New Zealand born children, are living with his brother-in law in Kiribati.
Kidd says the children have been struggling to adapt to life there, and Teitiota's son has been in particularly bad health.
