The New Hampshire Decree on Parenting Petition is a legal document used to establish the rights and responsibilities of parents in cases where parents are not married. It is typically used when a child is born to unmarried parents, and one or both of the parents are seeking to establish legal parental rights. The New Hampshire Decree on Parenting Petition includes provisions for parental rights and responsibilities, such as custody and visitation rights; designation of the primary residence of the child; assignment of legal decision-making authority; and the payment of child support. There are two types of New Hampshire Decree on Parenting Petition: Joint Parenting Plan and Sole Parenting Plan. The Joint Parenting Plan is used when both parents agree to have joint legal and physical custody of the child, and the Sole Parenting Plan is used when one parent will have sole legal and physical custody of the child.
