Legal Question in Family Law in New Hampshire

Re: Restricting non-custodial parent from extra-curricular activities

I would need to see the court decree in order to more fully answer your question. However, assuming it is a NH decree, joint custody (now called shared pareting rights and responsiblities), is just that --- joint! You have a joint right to particpate in all of life's actvities your daughter enjoys. You do have a right to enforce your parenting rights and responsibilities in court. New Hampshire has case law indicating that child support is what you pay. The court generally can not order you to pay for extra curricular activities such as dance. How mother uses the child support is within her discretion.

As with all legal matters, more details would enable a better and more precise answer. Additional facts might change the way this problem can be approached.

Re: Restricting non-custodial parent from extra-curricular activities

You have every right to purchase tickets and attend. Call the dance school yourself.

Please be aware that your Massachusetts decree will need to be enforced in New Hampshire, under New Hampshire law. The prior writer's approach suggests the same result in New Hampshire as would occur here, but you should definitely seek assistance from an attorney licensed in New Hampshire.
