In the Matter of Amanda Picardi and William Picardi

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2023-0199, In the Matter of Amanda Picardi
and William Picardi, the court on May 1, 2024, issued the
following order:
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, William Picardi, appeals a final decree
entered by the Circuit Court (Keating, J.), following a hearing, in his divorce
from the petitioner, Amanda Picardi. He argues that the trial court erred by
not awarding him equal parenting time with the petitioner with respect to the
parties’ minor child, by allowing the child to be under the care of the
petitioner’s older children at certain times, and by crediting the petitioner’s
testimony and financial affidavit in calculating his child support obligation
pursuant to the child support guidelines. We assume, without deciding, that
all of the respondent’s arguments are preserved, and affirm.

As the appealing party, the respondent 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 thoughtful and well-reasoned order, the respondent’s
arguments, the relevant law, and the record submitted on appeal, we conclude
that the respondent has not demonstrated that the trial court unsustainably
exercised its discretion in any aspect of its final divorce decree. See id.; In the
Matter of Spenard & Spenard, 167 N.H. 1, 3 (2014); In the Matter of Kurowski
& Kurowski, 161 N.H. 578, 585 (2011).

Affirmed.

MacDonald, C.J., and Bassett, Hantz Marconi, Donovan, and Countway,
JJ., concurred.
