Issues

Addressing any issue or problem starts with a clear understanding of why it is problematic. Understanding the issue is especially crucial when the issue involves harm to our nation's families. Such matters should be of critical importance when they affect the citizens of your state, particularly when your own family, friends, and communities are directly impacted. Addressing this should remain at the forefront of efforts to prevent harm, prioritizing well-being and due process rights of parents and children.

 

For 20 years, New Hampshire’s family court has operated without accountability. Marketed as a convenient solution for family law matters, it functions as an administrative court within the executive branch, not a true court of law with guaranteed due process. Efforts to make it resemble a court have eroded transparency, justice, and protections from harm.

The NH Family Court system comprises administrative proceedings in courtrooms with BCSS, DCYF, YDC, and independent service providers— all working together to maximize their financial rewards per case. This structure strategically emphasizes profit over people through taxpayer-funded programs, with unlimited billing possibilities driven by unwarranted orders and case management practices.
