Legal Question in Family Law in New Hampshire

obligations to non custodial parent

I have been divorced for 10 years, i have physical custody of our child, we have joint legal custody. over 10 years he has had visitation with our daughter. inbetween visits he basically calls to set up visitation plans as he lives out of state. i just recently took him back to court to have child support modified as it had been 10 years and financial circumstances are different now. Since taking him to court, which i was very reasonable and he is still paying under what the judge said the guidelines were, i have been receiving letters from him saying he wants to be more involved in our daughters life, the letter asks several questions relating to what time she goes to bed, what tv programs does she watch, does she go to church, how much computer use, etc. etc... i have never denied any of this information , i want to know if i am obligated to respond to this. i feel i should give him the information regarding her school and her doctor information but we have established rules in my home for my daughter about bed times etc. this is all coming about since taking him to court, he has never asked these questions before. do i have to repond to this type of letter?

Re: obligations to non custodial parent

My suggested response is to tell him that you would be more than glad to provide him with the information. But before you do, ask him why is he wants the information now, when he has not asked it for the last ten years?

This is to give you some sense of his rationale.
