Family Division
Child Impact Seminar
New
Hampshire law requires that anyone with minor children who is getting divorced
or who has filed or responded to a parenting petition (formerly Petition for
Custody) must attend a four hour child impact seminar called "Children
First" which addresses the effects of divorce or separation on
children.
In
order to go ahead with your case, you must show the court a certificate of
attendance from the program. You
should register for a Child Impact Seminar as soon as possible. To register, call one of the seminar providers listed on Page 2 of the Child
Impact Program Notice.
Parties
who do not attend the seminar may be subject to sanctions by the court.
