Return to index of stories...
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
A year ago the family law task force released a report calling for major changes in how the courts deal with families in crisis.
The state's highest judge also called for change, and during the last session the Legislature worked on a number of bills to do that.
As Richard Ager first reported in April there was much disagreement over how to identify the biggest problems and implement reform.
script iconIntro Divorced Family

Rachel Forrest of Exeter attended those hearings but didn't get a chance to speak because they were so crowded.
But as Richard Ager tells us, Forrest has a success story to tell that grew out of the failure of her marriage.

script iconIntro Judge Kelly
Return to index of stories...
Judge Ed Kelly is the head of the court's family division, which as we've noted, is expanding.
Richard Ager sat down with Judge Kelly last spring to talk about the court's expansion and began by asking why mothers receive custody in the vast majority of divorce cases.

HOST: Beth Carroll Length: 07:00 minutes
Now on New Hampshire Outlook: We take a look at how the courts treat families in crisis, and efforts to change the law. Also the profile of a divorce where everyone's still on speaking terms. And later a conversation with the head of the state's family law courts. Not all of the testimony provided to the Child and Family law committee has been negative. Rachel Forrest of Exeter didn't get the chance to speak because the hearing was so crowded, but she left written testimony for the committee. Forrest has a success story to tell that grew out of the failure of her marriage.

The show went well. We had to stop a few times for little mistakes but we were still done by 5:40. Liz is learning how to AD since Randy's hand hurts when he does it too much.
