What New Hampshire expects

New Hampshire abolished 'custody' and 'visitation' in favor of 'parental rights and responsibilities'; a parenting plan on the court's form is required in every case with minor children.

Governing law: RSA 461-A.

New Hampshire requires its own form — Parenting Plan (NHJB-2064-FS). Agree your terms first, then transcribe them onto it.

The honest trade-off

Exchanges land on the same two days every week, which makes it easy to remember, and no one waits more than four nights. The trade is that which parent has the weekend flips each week, so weekend plans need a two-week memory.
