Re: probate guardianship
The facts you present are very thin. It is impossible to formulate an answer without more detail. As a general rule, the court has authority to place children outside the State of New Hampshire if it is necessary an appropriate given the circumstances. This type of placement requires coordination with both the sending and receiving state authorities.
Given the sensitive nature of this matter I would suggest that you retain the services of an attorney to review all the facts and circumstances and advise you as to your rights.
