New Hampshire has different requirements for divorces if a couple has produced or legally adopted children. Since the welfare of children are a separate and important issue from the end of a legal relationship, there are extra needs from divorcing parents.
- What are the extra needs for divorces with children?

People may represent themselves under law, but divorces generally go easier when each spouse has an attorney to represent his or her interests. Legal representation for divorcing spouses can cover more of the requirements on the first pass, reducing the need to redo work and get into disputes.
