Filing Your New Hampshire Divorce
The steps for filing your uncontested New Hampshire divorce are as follows:
- File a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage.
- Both spouses attend a First Appearance hearing and file the remaining documents. (If the non-filing spouse has good cause for being unable to attend the hearing, the Court may grant him or her an exemption from attending upon Motion.)
- Receive the Final Decree of Divorce signed by the Judge in the mail. (No final hearing is usually required.)
Division of property & debt, child parenting plan (including child support, visitation and custody), spousal support, and more are covered.
