New Hampshire law requires that anyone with children who is getting divorced or who has filed or responded to a parenting petition (formerly Petition for Custody) must attend a 4 hour seminar on 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 will be notified by the court of the times and locations of the seminars.
Parties who do not attend the seminar may be subject to sanctions by the court.
For additional information on seminar locations and registrations, see Children First.
