Supreme Court of New Hampshire

In re M.M.

June 2, 2021

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire affirmed the circuit court's finding that the father neglected his son and held that the July 2020 amendment to RSA 169-C:28, which eliminated de novo review in the superior court, applies retroactively to the case, thereby barring a de novo appeal to the superior court. The court also noted that the amendment affects only procedural rights and did not reach the merits of any due‑process claim.
