We similarly decline the defendant’s invitation to adopt a “first-in-time”
rule in cases in which the family division has exercised jurisdiction over
marital property. The proposed rule would mean that the family division has
jurisdiction over marital property to the exclusion of all other courts once the
family division has exercised jurisdiction over such property. The legislature
has not imposed such a requirement in RSA chapter 490-F, and we will not do
so by judicial fiat.
