Rule 1.8 – Case Transfer

May 14, 2021 | Family Law, New Hampshire

A. Any case filed in one family division location involving a family that has another active case filed at a different family division location may be transferred to a single location upon motion by any party or upon independent action of the family division. A party wishing to transfer such a case shall file a motion to transfer with the proposed family division location, with a copy to the original family division location. A transfer of the case will take place only upon mutual agreement of both family division locations.
B. Parties who have cases filed in both family division and non-family division locations may request that one case or the other be transferred so that both may be heard at the same location. Similarly, either Court may, on its own motion, recommend transfer. A transfer of the case will take place only upon mutual agreement of both Courts. The request to transfer shall be filed with the court from which the case will be transferred.
