New Hampshire Registration/Recognition of Foreign Guardianship & Protective Orders is a process whereby a New Hampshire court may recognize or enforce an overseas guardianship or protective order. This process is used for guardianship and protective orders issued by foreign courts or tribunals, such as those granted in the context of child custody disputes. There are two types of Foreign Guardianship & Protective Order Recognition: Registration and Enforcement. Registration involves having a foreign guardianship or protective order recognized in New Hampshire. This means that the foreign order will be recognized in New Hampshire courts and will be enforced in the same manner as a domestic court order. Enforcement involves having a foreign guardianship or protective order enforced in New Hampshire. This means that the foreign order will be enforced in New Hampshire courts and will have the same legal effect as a domestic court order. This type of recognition/enforcement is typically used when a foreign court or tribunal has issued a guardianship or protective order that is not recognized in the United States. In order to register or enforce a foreign guardianship or protective order in New Hampshire, a petitioner must file a petition in the appropriate New Hampshire court. The petition must be accompanied by a certified copy of the foreign guardianship or protective order, as well as a certificate of authentication from the foreign court or tribunal. The court will then determine whether the foreign guardianship or protective order is valid and enforceable in the state of New Hampshire.
