QUESTION

How can I get my child custody order modified?

Asked on Jan 03rd, 2015 on Child Custody - New Hampshire
More details to this question:
I am a military wife and my daughter who is 12 years old, has maintained her desires to live with myself and my husband. We are getting ready to move again and my daughter wants to move with us. My case is difficult to explain because my ex husband NEVER should have received physical custody! Once the trial was over, I received a lot of information stating that my ex inlaws were originally good friends with the judge and with my ex's attorney. Their attorney steam rolled me, even though he had a documented history of violence toward me. My daughter had just turned 6 years old! She was already living with myself and my current husband majority of the time. I had a stable life with stable income, health insurance, and most important, my time. I was not going to have to work. Her father at the time was single, unemployed, no insurance, no steady income, living in his parents home, he was unstable. How did this even happen? This was almost 7 years ago. I still fight for her.

Modification of  a permanent order is restrict to limited issues.  If you have substantially equal amount of the parenting time, then modification is somewhat easier.  If not, you may only modify parenting schedule on a very limited reasons.  To complicate matters further, you also need to meet the standard in RSA 461-A:12 relative to relocating the child.  As for the initial decision, the only way to address those issues would have been to file an appeal with the NH Supreme COurt after the decision was issued 7 years ago.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Many thanks.
