The allegations are very serious. The potential exists for there to be felony charges depending on if there was in fact a serious bodily injury. It is vital that your son not talk to the police or DCYF without speaking to a defense lawyer. The facts may also reveal that it was not a criminal... View More
They are demanding it, I told them what the parenting plan is and they don't like it and they say they will take action to change it. That doesn't sound legal to me, my ex isn't gonna do more then he already does, he's a dead beat dad. The court made him do the bare min if he... View More

The school might request the parenting plan to determine who can pickup the children on specific days. They certainly don't have grounds to ask for it to be changed or modified.
My husband wants a divorce. But we are doing it amicably and he wants to keep me on his health insurance due to my health issues. He wants to have it written into the final papers. He has a federal health plan and spoke with someone the other day; the insurance says I cannot be on his insurance... View More

A New Hampshire attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. I can only speak for the insurance law-based attributes of your question, not the divorce-related ones. But as a general matter, courts do not usually have the power to change insurance policies. If the... View More
Do we do this before, after or during the divorce? I need the money for a new start for me and my children but I’m afraid I won’t get it somehow.

The best way is for the two of you to meet with an attorney mediator who will help you identify and resolve all the financial issues at one time. Once you reach an agreement you can decide when you would like to refinance. You can then file your agreement with the Court along with a joint... View More

Yes you will get a portion of the value if the divorce action is brought in NH. You should speak with an attorney so that you can explain exactly where your husband is in the process. Also you should bring any written documentation regarding the pension negotiations and disability.

the tax money. we have a divorce decree can he do this?
answered on Dec 15, 2018
This answer to this question depends on the terms of your Divorce Decree. If your Decree states that he is solely responsible for these expenses, then he cannot force you to contribute. In contrast, if the Decree states that you are required to make some contribution to those expenses, then he... View More

Unless you've agreed to something else in the GAL Stipulation, the GAL's file is open to both parties, meaning everything can be obtained.
My husband requested a special visit with his daughter as part of our mediation agreement. Typically, we are allowed to schedule our own visits so it wasn't necessary, but he and his attorney did.

She is claiming they have the 6 months needed residence for the kids for her to try to have the divorce moved to MA. Are they considered NH residents still while they still went to school in NH? I filed in October for the divorce.
answered on Dec 8, 2017
The children's residence will most likely be determined to be where they live not where they attend school. March was quite some time ago so it really will depend on where they resided for all that time. I wonder if the school has the children's address listed in Mass or NH? Be careful... View More
Also if you have dual residency how would that affect UCCJEA?? My "spouse" claims he'll agree to a jurisdiction waiver.... We've been seperated well over 2 years. I want this done and over with ASAP!!

One of the following must apply to file for divorce in New Hampshire: 1) both parties live in New Hampshire, 2) the petitioner (the spouse starting the divorce action) has lived in New Hampshire for one year, or 3) the petitioner lives in New Hampshire and their spouse can be served with divorce...

If we both agree to this, can I take them out of school to go? Can I get in trouble for it?

If you both agree then that's fine. You should have your ex confirm that it is OK in writing (text or email) so you have a record of it.
I have been married for 33 years, but have lived separately from one another for the past 19 years.

am stuck on the word "might" because in this particular case, neither party can divorce except when adultery has been committed or either party denounces their same faith. None of the above-mentioned circumstances exist. So with this thought in mind neither party could attest that a... View More

I'm a little confused about what you're asking. You say "neither party can divorce" except for those situations, but I assume that's a religious limitation, not a legal one. That would have no effect on interpretation of the statute.
The venue for this case is in NEW York. However, I live in NH
answered on May 23, 2016
Most likely both. But you should ask in the NY Justia section or check the court rules.
I don't want the house--I want to be free and clear of it. What are my options? Can an attorney help me with this and my divorce? My spouse can be quite adversarial so would want to work through an attorney if possible.

If your spouse is adversarial, make sure you seek a family law attorney. If you're in the Nashua area, please email me for more information.

It sounds like a very fact-specific situation. What exactly is your question? Child abuse is a criminal charge which would be determined by the police.
If you're wondering how these events could affect child custody, you should speak to a family law attorney. Such an event could... View More
