Legal Question in Family Law in New Hampshire
I am going into court to redo what my ex should be paying in child support. On his financial afftidavit I noticed he has lied. Is that something I can and should bring up in court?
He stated that his car is worth 3,000. But I know a new Ford Mustang in good condition is worth more than that.
Also he wants to redo the parenting plan (the current one has him seeing our daughter through supervised visits). I do not want him to see her without supervision.
Should I get a lawyer?

Your question raises several issues. Let's start with child support. The computation for child support is based upon the current income of the parties. The value of his car has nothing to do with child support.
As to the visit situation, if the two of you can not reach an agreement, the court is likely to appoint a guardian ad litem. The job of this person is to investigate the situation, talk with both parents and those close to the child and make a recommendation to the court as to what type of visit would be in the best interest of the child. If you wish to restrict his contact with your daughter, you should have specific evidence of current events which indicate that more contact would not be in the best interest of your daughter.
As to hiring an attorney, you have to determine if the expense, risk, and potential benefit is worth it when considering the welfare of your daughter.
