"Mother of Harmony Montgomery Pursues Justice in Wrongful Death Lawsuit"

The mother of Harmony Montgomery, a 5-year-old girl killed by her father in 2019, has taken the first steps in a planned wrongful death lawsuit by asking a New Hampshire probate judge to declare her daughter legally dead and to be appointed as administrator of her estate. This comes after Harmony's father was convicted of her murder and other crimes. The case has exposed weaknesses in child protection systems and prompted calls to prioritize the well-being of children over parents in custody matters.
