Supreme Court of New Hampshire

In re J.H.

November 14, 2023

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire affirmed the circuit court’s finding that the mother neglected her son despite a guardianship being in place. The Court held that parents retain a residual duty to provide safe shelter when a guardian cannot, and that the evidence showed the neglect was not primarily due to the mother’s financial means. It also affirmed that the mother failed to preserve her argument regarding the missing guardianship order.
