At least one spouse must have lived in New Hampshire for 12 months before filing for divorce. This requirement is set by state law and applies throughout the state, including Sullivan County.

Is there a waiting period for divorce in New Hampshire?

Does New Hampshire allow no-fault divorce?

Yes. New Hampshire allows no-fault divorce, and fault-based grounds are also available in some cases. Most divorces proceed on no-fault grounds.
