Supreme Court of New Hampshire

In re N.T.

July 20, 2022

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire affirmed the lower court’s denial of the mother’s motion to dismiss, holding that the 60‑day deadline in RSA 169‑C:15, III(d) is not jurisdictional and that the trial court’s findings of physical abuse and neglect were supported by the evidence. The court also clarified that prejudice must be shown to obtain relief for procedural delays.
