In New Hampshire, a couple may divorce if they both live in New Hampshire or if one spouse has lived in New Hampshire for at least one year. A spouse may file for a no-fault divorce or may state one of thirteen separate grounds for at-fault divorce, such as extreme cruelty or abandonment.
A New Hampshire divorce begins when one spouse serves the other with a Libel for Divorce, which is a court document explaining that a divorce is being sought, the grounds for the divorce, and what assets and children the couple has. It will include the date on which an answer to the Libel for Divorce is due. The answer explains the other spouse’s side of the divorce dispute. The Libel for Divorce may also include the date and time for a hearing.
The amount of time it takes for a New Hampshire divorce to become final varies, depending on the couple’s disputes and whether they have any children. An uncontested divorce with no children may be granted in as little as three months, while a hotly disputed divorce with children may take a year or more.
The New Hampshire courts strongly recommend that anyone served with a Libel for Divorce or appearing in court for divorce-related matters consult an experienced New Hampshire divorce lawyer. A divorce attorney will help you understand your legal rights, options, obligations, and will protect your interests in court. Even couples who do not have any disputes should consult separate lawyers to ensure each person’s individual rights and needs are addressed.

A bicyclist and a motorcyclist collided recently in Manchester, according to an article published in the Union-Leader.
The accident occurred at Cilley Road and South Porter Street just after 9 p.m. on a Saturday night. The bicyclist was crossing South Porter Street when he crashed into a motorcycle rider who was traveling with two other motorcyclists. All three motorcyclists were wearing helmets. An eyewitness noted that the bicyclist, who appeared to be wearing headphones, may not have heard the motorcycles before he collided with them.
The motorcycle rider, a 36-year-old Manchester resident, was taken to a local hospital and treated for his injuries. He was released later that evening. Manchester police do not have information on the bicyclist’s condition.
Manchester police decided to investigate the accident after descriptions of the collision led them to suspect that the bicyclist had been riding on the sidewalk. They are also inquiring about whether the bicyclist or the motorcycles had the right of way when the collision occurred. Police are asking anyone with information about the accident to contact them.
Whether you are traveling by car, motorcycle, or bicycle, staying alert to your surroundings is key to avoiding accidents.

Two teenage boys from the Goffstown area turned themselves into police recently, admitting their involvement in a recent car crash, according to an article published in the Union Leader.
The accident occurred about a week earlier on Scoby Road near Manchester. According to police, it appeared the two boys were joyriding with two teenage girls when the boy who was driving lost control of the vehicle. The car crashed into a tree injuring both of the girls. The boys helped the girls out of the car immediately after the accident, and then left the scene.
Police say the boys did not intend to return or to send help when they left. Instead, one of the girls called friends from Manchester to come pick up both of the girls.
Rescue workers did not reach the scene of the New Hampshire car accident, or the two injured victims, for over an hour. When they arrived, one of the girls was unconscious. She was flown to Dartmouth-Hitchcock hospital for treatment of a spinal cord injury, but is expected to recover. The other teen girl was not seriously hurt. She was taken to Elliot Hospital and later released.
Police are investigating whether alcohol or drugs played a role in the accident.

A New Hampshire state police officer narrowly escaped being struck by a speeding pickup truck on the Everett Turnpike recently, according to local news station WMUR.
The officer was cleaning up road debris on the northbound side of the turnpike. At about 10:36 a.m., a fast-moving pickup truck swerved around a slower vehicle and drove into the median where the officer was standing. The officer protected herself by jumping over the barrier in the median, but the truck hit both the barrier and the vehicle it was apparently trying to pass.
The pickup truck’s driver, a 22-year-old Chelmsford, Massachusetts resident, was charged with reckless driving. The pickup’s driver, the officer, and everyone in the slower vehicle escaped injury.
You can help protect yourself and police officers from injury by proceeding carefully when you see a police car with its lights flashing. Slow down and move to another lane. If there is no other lane, move as far away from the police car as possible without entering an oncoming lane of traffic or endangering yourself and your passengers. Police officers frequently have to exit their cars, so if you see a stopped police car, watch carefully for any officers who may be standing near it.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a New Hampshire pedestrian accident, you may be entitled to compensation from the person or company responsible for your injuries.
