Questions
How does New Hampshire calculate child support?
New Hampshire uses income-based formulas considering both parents' earnings, childcare costs, and healthcare expenses. Courts may adjust guidelines for special circumstances like extraordinary medical needs or relocation requests.
What is collaborative divorce?
Collaborative divorce is a structured negotiation process using trained professionals to resolve disputes without court intervention. Both parties work cooperatively with attorneys, financial advisors, and mental health professionals to create customized solutions.
Can mediation resolve family law disputes?
Yes, mediation effectively resolves divorce terms, custody agreements, and property division through neutral facilitation. Our certified mediators help parties reach binding agreements while maintaining control over the outcome.
How do restraining orders work?
Restraining orders protect against abuse through court-ordered limitations. We assist with obtaining or defending orders while addressing related issues like child custody, property access, and employment implications.
What are QDROs?
Qualified Domestic Relations Orders divide retirement accounts during divorce. Our attorneys prepare court-approved QDROs to ensure proper asset division without tax penalties while protecting both parties' financial interests.
