On our New Hampshire Custody page, we created the new subsection Steps to file for custody, which reorganized the steps into six separate questions, making it easier for users to find the information they need:
- Considerations before filing
- Step 1: Prepare for the case
- Step 2: File and serve the custody petition
- Step 3: Preliminary court dates
- Step 4: Reach an agreement or go to trial
- Step 5: Options if you disagree with the order
These questions explain the usual stages in a custody case and cross-link to other relevant information on our website.
We also reorganized the page to make it easier for users to find the information they are looking for by doing the following:
- We moved the questions Can a parent who committed domestic violence, child abuse, or sexual assault get parental rights and responsibilities? and Can a grandparent or step-parent get visitation? to the new subsection called Who can get parental rights and responsibilities (custody) or visitation;
- We moved the question What is mediation? to the subsection Basic info and definitions, and we added crosslinks to the related questions about mediation; and
- We moved the questions Who gets sent to mediation?, If I am a domestic violence victim, do I have to do mediation?, and What happens in mediation? to subsection The custody process.
