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
The simplest 50/50 schedule to run and the easiest to explain to a child — but a week is a long time away from a parent for a young child, and one forgotten backpack can strand a school project for seven days. Most plans using it add a midweek dinner or call with the other parent.
