NH Divorce Process, Procedure or Purposeful to Delay

The paperwork filed in divorces in the state of NH is repetitive, there should be no question as to why the courts are backed up or even why so many people are pro se (representing themselves). 

Here are the FACTS, the only ones making out are the Attorney's, the NH Bar a monopoly in and of itself and the court's in the fees and prolonged litigation it actually ensures. 

Now the fees are so excessive they are blocking indigent, low income and the middle class from having the orders "they"

made be upheld. Petition to Change that sign here:  http://chn.ge/1lkiI1N  

In the Family Court Section they give you all the forms as found here but fail to put them in the order they should go into the court. 

To complete this monstrous mound of paperwork to get a divorce - Attorney's can buy a program to drop your information into the repetitive fields; however, most are going to have the daunting task of filling out the partial list below.  To expedite the process and save yourself money you want to have it ALL ready, to hand in at the first hearing that gives you all the paperwork mentioned here plus more...  found here be sure to check out the mandatory mediation and threat of an appointment of a GAL, which will always cost more than a $1000, just for the GAL.

1.  Petition for Divorce  

2. Your Checklist for mandatory self disclosure rule 1.25  all the 

    financial documents you will need to submit to the court  then go 

    to; information about this rule to help with forms  And then any

    documents you are unable to find - fill this out for your lawyer or  

    if pro se you need to fill this out explaining why and add your 

    Financial Affidavit 

3. Your Agreement and parenting plan Order designating School 

    District -usually where the children are going to school right now. 

4. Proposed Parenting Plan - this is actually what you think it is 

    how you are going to share and care for your children 

5. Personal Data Sheet  repetitive 

6. Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act 

    repetitive

7.  Child Impact Notice - provide copy of Attendance and attend 
     prior to the first court hearing

8.  Child Support Guidelines worksheet fill it out, it will compute it 

     for you  and then fill out #9

9.   Uniform Support Order

      Order  is based off the numbers in the child support calculations 

      repetitive

9.   Decree on Parenting Petition -  different than parenting plan

      repetitive

10. Your Pretrial Conference   not to be confused with your 

      Scheduling Conference 

      repetitive

11. Temporary Decree on Petition for Divorce goes with all of the 

      above       

      repetitive

12.  Vital Statistics Form  must be completed for divorce to be final 

      and yes of course it is  repetitive of everything you already 

      filled out in multiple places. 

So at least 15 documents to prepare, not to mention all the other's that may be needed in your particular case found here, be sure to scroll all the way through it.  It is all excessively repetitive.  Which begs the question, if attorneys each can buy a software system that integrates the intake information to fill in all the forms above why can't the Court's get a similar system and put in the information once and send it out accordingly?  

Oh, it's a government agency and in NH, they are clearly not run efficiently - now should we talk about killing trees ... or should the courts makes things a wee bit simpler for the public they are suppose to serve? 

Sadly lawyers who are suppose to understand the rules are having a hard time making sure all the right paperwork is handed in and/or advising their clients of when to put it in; they have nothing to worry about though it's not as though the attorney discipline system directly associated with the court system is going to hold them accountable in NH and most law schools do not teach lawyers how to read the rules and stay updated, they figure it out on their first few clients and/or if in a large firm their paralegals keep a tickler file to remind them. 

This is what family advocates are helping families sort through, how to communicate with the other party, what the best arrangement for your family is going forward, what paperwork and supporting documentation you need to gather and submit.  

It's not legal advice, it is about conserving your family's income to move forward whether in conjunction with an attorney or pro se, it moves you through the process quickly and helps you choose what is best for your family, without breaking your bank and/or letting some 1-4 time divorced Judge with his/her own bias decide your fate.  

"If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values - that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control."

BE IN CONTROL 

At first glance, this Civil Matter looks like...

A cat fight between Denise-Marie McIntosh, part of the 1st wives club and Lori Ayotte-(Wilson)-McIntosh, et al (et al means and others) wife number 2, this couldn't be further from the truth in this matter. As such, you have to wonder why the Court chose those names when it was filed as Denise-Marie McIntosh v. State of NH DHHS/DCYF et al. 

This Case is about why the US-gets-an-f-in-child-welfare-and-an-a-in-military-spending, because it is against and about how the State of NH DHHS/DCYF fails federal and state CFSR's; a child/family therapist who lied to the Court's, specifically Dr. Susan Vonderheide, and the father, William P. McIntosh, who paid Dr. Vonderheide and lied to the Court's to gain custody and lead a young child to believe that his fit mother, willing only wanted to see him in supervised therapy. Visitation ultimately left to the discretion of William McIntosh and Vonderheide. 

As shown in this article by well known author, spokesperson and radio host, Dani Johnson, this type of behavior, people who feel abandon due to their own childhoods, slights etc. is an epidemic that destroys relationships. 

Now as a civil matter, the appeal 2012-0845 it shows the evidence based on fraud, and the Defendants replies affirm  the falsifications in this matter.  Fraud that was only uncovered by a determined mother, one who pursued a legal education.  This case is now in the New Hampshire Supreme Ct. because the Superior Ct. attempted to dismiss it based on their idea of when the Statute of Limitations should have tolled.  Yet, the historical findings of this Ct. base the statute of limitations on many different points.   Here the record shows, the defendant's do not dispute their guilt, instead, they claim the Mother/Plaintiff should have known about their illegal acts as they were doing it.  

Doesn't fraud in and of itself - mean to deceive? to conceal? If they meant to lie and conceal those lies then how would anyone know about it until they actually uncovered it? 

This matter only becomes public once it hits the Supreme Ct. which is where e-briefs will be updated in the next two - three years  due to "In September 2009, the court began to request that parties file an electronic copy of their brief in addition to the required paper copies."


Due to the fact that the NH Supreme Ct. is at least 2.5 years behind,  in updating their records it is important to post this case now:

2/21/13 Plaintiff's  Brief 

3/25/13 NH State Defendant's Brief  for State of NH, DHHS, Dept. Of Children, Youth and Families, Def. Roukey, Def. Geno, Def. Gubbins, and Def. Bishop.  

3/25/13 Def. Dr. Susan Vonderheides Brief  

4/15/13 Plaintiff's Reply Brief

This story as shown across the country will never be heard on TV in New Hampshire, because WMUR does not support the free press they support the people who fund them and as the only television station in the state they can certainly make sure that the heinous story's hidden by DCYF as shown in this Case stay hidden. You will find the same issues exist with the press here the Concord Monitor, Union Leader, and Telegraph have all glossed over the true stories and/or once covered failed to follow up; due to pressure from the old boys network.

However, the internet has broaden the knowledge base and parent's should not have to go to pre law school to find out and/or fight for their rights.  

In telling my story, because I  want to make sure what happened here never happens to another family.  If you need help with a NH RSA 169-C matter and/or you believe fraud could be involved in your case, do not hesitate to email dmvc@live.com for more information and do not let dcyf employees deter you for obtaining your rights.  Sometimes simply knowing where to look, can help you uncover their untrained employees and/or overzealous prosecutors before they damage your family.
