Minor Guardianships

Contact our family law firm in New Hampshire to learn more about how we handle cases involving minor guardianships.

New Hampshire Courts afford parental rights the highest regard since the United States Supreme Court held that parenting a child is one’s constitutional right. The rules governing this specific area of the law are complex and typically one will only prevail on a guardianship if one can prove by clear and convincing evidence that there is a need for substitution of a parent’s role and care. It is imperative to hire a legal team when pursuing or defending against a petition for a minor guardianship in New Hampshire.

When children are involved in legal matters, we understand the sensitive nature of the issues involved. We strive to be advocates for children in all matters when we represent our clients.

There are many situations, circumstances and scenarios that can lead to guardianship of a child.
