THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
SUPREME COURT
In Case No. 2023-0174, In the Matter of Kimberly LaFleur
and Roger LaFleur, the court on May 1, 2024, issued the
following order:
The motion to withdraw filed by the respondent’s counsel is granted. The
court has reviewed the written arguments and the record submitted on appeal,
and has determined to resolve the case by way of this order. See Sup. Ct. R.
20(2). The respondent, Roger LaFleur (husband), appeals a final decree of the
Circuit Court (Quigley, J.), issued following a hearing, in his divorce from the
petitioner, Kimberly LaFleur (wife). On appeal, the husband argues that the trial
court erred in a prior order by denying his motion to appoint a guardian ad litem.
As the appealing party, the husband has the burden of demonstrating reversible
error. Gallo v. Traina, 166 N.H. 737, 740 (2014). Based upon our review of the
trial court’s decision, the husband’s challenges to it, the relevant law, and the
record submitted on appeal, we conclude that the husband has not
demonstrated reversible error and affirm the court’s decision. See id.; Sup. Ct. R.
25(8). Further, any issues raised in the husband’s notice of appeal that were not
subsequently briefed are waived. See In re Estate of King, 149 N.H. 226, 230
(2003).
Affirmed.
MacDonald, C.J., and Bassett, Hantz Marconi, Donovan, and Countway,
JJ., concurred.
