Family Law

​

In New Hampshire, a married person may file a petition for either divorce or legal separation. In such cases, the parties will address issues such as property division and alimony. If there are minor children from the marriage, the parties will also address parenting rights and child support. If the parties have a minor child but are not married, they may file a parenting petition in which only parenting rights and child support are addressed. Parties in a divorce, legal separation, or parenting case face issues that greatly impact their personal lives and those of their children, as well as their financial future.
