Legal Question in Family Law in New Hampshire

Unfortunately, without an examination of your divorce decree it is more difficult to frame a response. New Hampshire no longer uses "joint custody" when dealing with the issue of children. The law starts with a belief that both parents should be actively involved in raising the children. The term used is "parenting rights and responsibilities."

If the parents can't agree to a major change as you've described, it is generally best to seek the assistance of a neutral third party, whether that is an attorney, mediator, counselor, or other agreeable person to help the parents reflect on what is in the best interest of the child. If an agreement can not be reached, then filing a petition with the court for a review of parenting rights and responsibilities is the next option.
