High-Conflict Child Custody & Parenting

Child custody disputes can be some of the most complex and emotionally challenging aspects of family law, particularly in Manchester and nearby communities. Issues such as mental health concerns, substance use, relocation, or parent-child estrangement often complicate matters. Turco Legal’s Manchester attorneys navigate high-conflict custody disputes with precision. Our approach is strategic, compassionate, and firmly grounded in New Hampshire law.

In New Hampshire, custody—called parental rights and responsibilities—is based on the child’s best interests. Courts often favor shared parenting. However, that stance shifts when serious issues arise—such as coercive control, parental alienation, domestic violence, or disputes over schooling or medical care. We also assist with relocation cases and families raising children with special needs.

High-conflict cases often involve third-party professionals. We coordinate with Manchester-based Guardians ad Litem, parenting coordinators, and mental health providers. When necessary, we pursue evaluations or emergency relief to safeguard the child’s stability.

Our Manchester team serves families across the city and nearby areas, including Nashua and Concord. We guide parents through custody disputes with local insight, deep experience, and an unwavering focus on protecting the child’s well-being.

Navigating divorce or family law issues in New Hampshire can be overwhelming—especially when your future, your finances, and your family’s well-being are at stake.

To further support this, our family law blog offers insights into relevant case law and emerging legal issues. While online resources are helpful, nothing replaces a personalized consultation with a skilled attorney. For this reason, we encourage you to schedule a free consultation to discuss your case using the link below or by calling us at (603) 932-5032.

Physical Custody & Parenting Time: In New Hampshire, custody is called “parental rights and responsibilities,” which includes where a child lives (residential responsibility) and the schedule for parenting time. Some parents in Manchester can reach agreements without conflict, while others face difficult disputes involving concerns such as child safety, substance abuse, mental health, or domestic violence. Our Manchester child custody lawyers are skilled in both amicable agreements and high-conflict cases, always prioritizing the best interests of the child while protecting your parental rights.

Legal Custody: In NH, legal custody is referred to as decision-making responsibility, giving a parent the authority to make important choices about a child’s education, medical care, and religious upbringing. Courts in Manchester and across the state generally favor joint decision-making, encouraging both parents to play an active role. However, sole decision-making responsibility may be granted when cooperation is not possible or when it would not serve the child’s best interests. Our Manchester custody attorneys provide clear, tailored guidance to help you understand your rights and pursue arrangements that work best for your family.

Child Support Representation in Manchester, NH: New Hampshire law requires both parents to provide financial support for their children. Child support is calculated under the New Hampshire Child Support Guidelines, which take into account each parent’s income, childcare expenses, medical insurance costs, and other relevant factors. In most cases, payments continue until the child turns 18 or graduates from high school, whichever occurs later, and may be extended in certain circumstances. Support orders can be modified if there is a substantial change in financial circumstances, and enforcement measures are available when payments are not made. Our Manchester child support attorneys work to ensure that financial arrangements meet the child’s needs while reflecting the family’s circumstances.

Alimony and Spousal Support Advocacy: In New Hampshire, alimony—also called spousal support—may be awarded to help a spouse maintain a standard of living reasonably comparable to that enjoyed during the marriage. Courts consider factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse’s income and earning capacity, their contributions to the household, and their financial needs and obligations. Alimony arrangements in Manchester can be particularly complex when significant assets, business interests, or unequal earning potential are involved. Whether you are seeking or contesting alimony, our attorneys provide strategic guidance to protect your rights and work toward a fair resolution.

Property Division in Manchester, NH Divorce Cases: Dividing marital assets in New Hampshire divorce cases can be one of the most challenging aspects of the process. The state follows the principle of equitable distribution, meaning property is divided fairly—but not always equally—based on factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse’s contributions, earning capacity, and overall financial situation. Marital property can include real estate, retirement accounts, investments, businesses, and other jointly owned assets, while separate property generally remains with its original owner. Our Manchester divorce attorneys help clients navigate property division with a thorough understanding of both legal requirements and financial implications to work toward a fair outcome that supports future stability.

Military Divorce: Divorce for military families in New Hampshire can involve unique challenges, including residency requirements, division of military pensions, and federal benefits. The Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act (USFSPA) governs the division of military retirement benefits, while the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) can impact timelines and procedural requirements. Our Manchester military divorce attorneys have the experience to navigate these federal and state rules, ensuring that your rights are protected and that the division of assets and benefits is handled fairly and effectively.

Same-Sex Divorce: In New Hampshire, same-sex divorce is governed by the same legal principles as other divorces. However, unique considerations may arise involving parental rights, property ownership, or child custody arrangements. Our Manchester LGBTQ+ divorce attorneys are experienced in handling these sensitive matters, providing thoughtful, tailored representation to protect your rights and interests throughout the divorce process. We work to ensure that every aspect of your case—financial, custodial, and legal—is handled with care and expertise.
