MANDATORY JAIL TIME FOR SECOND DUIS

A second DUI conviction in New Hampshire within the state’s “lookback” period will always result in jail time, due to mandatory minimum sentencing laws.

How long the sentence is, and how severe the other DUI penalties are, may depend on the how much time has passed since the first offense, in addition to other factors.

Once of our experienced Meredith defense attorneys may be able to explain more about your likely options in a private consultation.

SELF-AWARE PARENTING IN CHILD CUSTODY CASES

When parents are trying to determine how to get custody, they should take some time to honestly assess their strengths and weaknesses in regard to parenting, as well as those of the partner they are divorcing.

By showing that they are being honest with themselves and others about their parenting abilities, they can show the court that they are considering their child’s best interests and also looking for better ways to meet the child’s needs.

Contact our Laconia family law attorneys to learn more and get help developing your own child custody strategy.

IS PERMANENT SUPPORT EVER AWARDED IN NEW HAMPSHIRE?

Permanent spousal support, sometimes called permanent alimony, may be awarded in cases where the dependent spouse is unlikely to ever achieve financial independence.

The reasons could be advanced age, chronic illness, or a permanent disability.

Permanent support may continue indefinitely, often until the death of the recipient.

Temporary and rehabilitative support are both more common.

Call our office today to discuss how the factors in your case are likely to affect spousal support determinations.

WHEN WILL I HEAR BACK FROM MY CAR ACCIDENT CLAIM?

Generally speaking, car accident victims who file claims with the at-fault party’s auto insurance company can expect to receive an initial settlement offer a few weeks after their claim has been submitted.

A claimant who has already retained the services of a car accident lawyer will typically receive their settlement offer through their attorney.

A member of our Meredith personal injury team may be able to explain more when you book a no-cost consultation.

How DUI Can Affect A Licensed Professional

For any licensed professional in Belknap County, New Hampshire, a DUI charge represents far more than a traffic offense.

Nurses, physicians, attorneys, accountants, real estate agents, and countless other professionals may face serious consequences that extend well beyond fines and license suspension.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT A LAWYER TO NEGOTIATE WITH INSURANCE?

The preparation aspiring attorneys go through in law school is designed partly to help them evaluate such matters as settlement agreements and assess their general fairness and reasonableness, as well as their long-term implications.

These implications may not always be readily apparent to individuals reviewing the same documents without such training.

Working with an attorney to negotiate the settlement in a car accident case can sometimes prove beneficial, thanks to the formal training an attorney will typically bring to the process.

COST OF THE DEATH PENALTY

Putting aside the moral debate regarding capital punishment, one should also consider the financial implications.

Many assume that executing a convict is inherently cheaper than sentencing them to life behind bars.

The logic is that the logistics of supporting an inmate for decades represent a burden on the taxpayer, especially when one considers the price of food, electricity, plumbing, water, clothing, and so on.

HOW TO GET GRANDPARENT VISITATION RIGHTS

As with virtually all custody-related decisions, family courts in New Hampshire consider the best interests of the children when determining grandparent visitation rights.

Some jurisdictions may “presume” that grandparent visitation is in the best interests of a child.

However, New Hampshire courts put the burden of proof on grandparents – and not parents.

If you are concerned about missing out on a relationship with your grandchildren, consider calling our Meredith family law attorneys to schedule a consultation and discuss your options.

Booster Seat And Car Seat Laws In New Hampshire

Child seat laws are legal bulwarks helping to encourage driving practices that protect our children.

However, given the many different types of car seats and booster seats on the markets, it is easy for parents to become confused about the specifics of New Hampshire car seat laws.

The changes to car seat laws over time also mean that other drivers who may carry child passengers, especially grandparents who were familiar with the laws when they were using booster seats with their own children, may not be up-to-date with state requirements in 2026.
