Shanelaris & Schirch PLLC

Divorce

Child Support
With more than 45 years of combined experience, the attorneys at Shanelaris & Schirch continue to provide uncompromising commitment to New Hampshire families, specializing in Family Law, Collaborative Law and Mediation. We bring unique talent to the table because we have worked on both the public and private side of the law. Our senior attorneys have served as chief staff attorneys for the State of New Hampshire’s Division of Child Support Services and have also successfully represented countless private clients. The lawyers at Shanelaris & Schirch pride themselves on providing ethical, diligent representation at a reasonable cost. We have been involved in developing state laws, setting legal precedent and representing clients at New Hampshire Supreme Court level. Our unparalleled know-how puts the best legal resources at your disposal.
Child Custody and Visitation
If you have been injured, falsely imprisoned or threatened by a household member, or by a current or former partner, you may be able to obtain a Domestic Violence Protective Order. The law protects you from abuse, and does not require you to file for divorce or pay court fees in order to obtain protection. A judge can provide emergency protection under this type of order, and can also make orders regarding child custody, use of personal property and use of the family home. If you have been accused of domestic violence, Shanelaris & Schirch can help you preserve your parental rights, and save your reputation.
Adoption
Paternity
Premarital Agreement
Prenuptial agreements are contracts that couples enter into before marriage to make an agreement about their personal property, real estate and belongings before they are married so that in the event of a divorce or death, there is a prearranged agreement about the division of the assets and property. Postnuptial agreements are contracts that couples enter into after their marriage has taken place to also divide real and personal property in the event of divorce or death. Not only do prenuptial agreements force people to consider the financial ramifications of marriage, but they also greatly reduce conflict in the event of a divorce. Typically, when couples have signed a valid prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, there will be less conflict in dissolving the marriage which lowers the financial and emotion burden to both parties and their children.
Guardianship
There are times when a parent is not able to properly care for a child, or an individual cannot care for themselves. In those circumstances sometimes it is necessary to intervene and have the Court appoint another person as Guardian to make all the decisions for the child or individual. The Guardianship process can either be voluntary and agreed upon by all parties, or it can be contested in which case it will be up to the Court to make a determination if a guardianship is necessary. At Shanelaris & Schirch our attorneys have been involved in both contested and uncontested guardianships and will work with you to navigate this sometimes uncertain process to ensure that your loved one is kept safe.
Spousal Support
(4) Child support and alimony. We discuss the formula for obtaining child support and the amount a parent may receive in child support or the amount a parent may pay in child support. New Hampshire also has a new alimony law. Alimony is spousal support paid by one spouse to another and we discuss whether someone is entitled to alimony and for what period of time it may be payable or whether someone will need to pay alimony to his or her spouse.
Legal Separation
The process of divorce and legal separation requires the equitable division of your assets and debts as well as providing for the care and custody of your children. The process you choose for reaching that end result will depend upon many factors.
Child Abuse
In New Hampshire, custody of children under the age of 18 is referred to as “parenting rights and responsibilities.” Parenting issues are governed by NH RSA Chapter 461-A. There are some times when it may be important to limit a parent’s contact with his or her children including domestic violence issues, child abuse and neglect and use of drugs and alcohol that present a danger to children.

Criminal Defense
DUI/DWI
Misdemeanors
If you have been charged with a crime or prohibited act, you may face possible prison or jail time, fines, or other restrictions. A conviction for a felony can result in imprisonment for greater than 1 year, and conviction on a misdemeanor could result in up to 1 year of jail time. Although violations, ordinances and delinquencies do not carry jail time, they may result in significant fines and/or possible restrictions. With so much on the line, don’t take the risk of representing yourself. To best protect your interests, it is important you speak with an attorney before communicating with the police. If notified directly by the police, do not make any statements or offer information until you have consulted with an attorney. If you find yourself in custody, be sure to exercise your right to remain silent until you can seek legal advice. Whether you are facing a motor vehicle offense, a crime of domestic violence, or a property crime, the attorneys of Shanelaris & Schirch are available to assist you in any stage of your criminal matter in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
Restraining Order
If you or a loved one has been subject to violence, or if you have been unfairly threatened with a restraining order, Shanelaris & Schirch can help you. With extensive experience in both the practice of law and in working with domestic violence issues, Shanelaris & Schirch can help you to navigate the restraining order process and to advise you on the best options for your unique situation. It is crucial to have legal representation in these matters, as domestic violence proceedings may result in criminal charges or additional legal action.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Regardless of how much you are worth, every person should have a basic estate plan. Estate planning allows you to determine, before your death, what will happen with your assets; who will care for your children; and who will be responsible for managing things when you are gone. The key to ensuring that your priorities and families’ needs are met is planning. The first step is to execute a Will. Your Will appoints an Executor who will be responsible for ensuring that your wishes and instructions are carried out. Your Will also provides instructions for how your assets will be divided. Another document that you may wish to create is an Advanced Directive, or Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Purposes. This document, oftentimes created together with a Living Will, appoints a proxy to make health care decisions for you when you are unable to do so. The Advanced Directive also provides instructions to your proxy as to what types of extraordinary measures you desire when and if you are terminally ill. These decisions require thoughtful and caring discussion, both with family members and your health care provider. Once those decisions have been made we can help you to implement your decisions with the estate planning tools that are right for you.
Power of Attorney
Probate

Tax Law
Many people choose to engage in the collaborative process for many reasons. One of the reasons I hear over and over again from clients that have chosen this process is that the strength of the team is one of the greatest benefits, but what does that really mean. When you choose to divorce using the collaborative process, it means that you not only have your attorney representing you, but you also have two additional neutral professionals. The financial professional is trained and has a background in finance. Many are either certified divorce financial professionals, CPAs, or financial advisers. These professionals have been trained in the many financial nuances and issues that arise in divorce including the implication of tax law changes, how different types of assets are treated to ensure the best outcome for both parties and how to manage debt after divorce. The financial neutral is not representing either party, but working as a team member to support the family and generate options for the best possible outcome for both parties.
