Frequently Asked Questions
How do I document a custody case in New Hampshire?
Start a dated, factual record of every relevant event — custody exchanges, co-parent messages, incidents, and medical or school details. In MyCourtDocs, each entry is timestamped and automatically mapped to New Hampshire's 5 statutory best-interest factors, then exported as a court-ready PDF for circuit court (family division).
What evidence do New Hampshire family courts look for in a custody case?
New Hampshire judges weigh specific, dated, organized evidence over general claims: a chronological timeline of exchanges and incidents, co-parent communications, court-order compliance records, and documentation of each parent's involvement in the child's medical, school, and daily life. Vague or emotional accounts carry far less weight than neutral, factual records.
How does New Hampshire decide child custody?
New Hampshire courts decide custody and parenting time using 5 statutory best-interest factors covering the child's safety, stability, emotional needs, and each parent's capacity and cooperation. Organizing your evidence by these factors helps circuit court (family division) see exactly where your case is strong.
Are text messages admissible in New Hampshire custody court?
Text messages and other electronic communications are generally admissible in New Hampshire when they're authenticated and presented in an organized, unaltered form. MyCourtDocs imports texts, emails, OurFamilyWizard, and TalkingParents exports into one timeline and can generate a Business Records Affidavit to support admissibility.
Can I document a custody case without my co-parent knowing in New Hampshire?
Yes. MyCourtDocs is private, one-sided documentation — your co-parent never receives a notification, never needs an account, and never sees your records. It's built for high-conflict New Hampshire cases where quiet, consistent documentation matters.
Do I need a lawyer to document my New Hampshire custody case?
No — you can start documenting today on your own, and parents across Manchester, Nashua, Concord do. MyCourtDocs is a documentation tool, not legal advice. When you do hire a New Hampshire family law attorney, you can share read-only access to an already-organized case file, which saves intake time and legal fees.
