New Hampshire Motion to Exceed GAL Fee Cap is a motion a Guardian ad Item (GAL) may file when the GAL's requested compensation exceeds the maximum amount of compensation allowed for GAL services in New Hampshire. The motion must be filed with the court and provide detailed information as to why the requested fee exceeds the cap and should be approved. The court will then review the motion and may decide to grant the motion, deny it, or reduce the amount of the requested fee. There are two types of New Hampshire Motion to Exceed GAL Fee Cap: a standard motion, and an emergency motion. A standard motion is used when the GAL has provided services over a period of time, and is requesting additional funding. An emergency motion is used when the GAL needs to be compensated due to unforeseen circumstances, such as a sudden change in the GAL's financial situation.
