About this form
This packet opens an uncontested no-fault divorce in New Hampshire, where both spouses agree on the terms.
New Hampshire is a no-fault state (irreconcilable differences, RSA 458:7-a) with no fixed statutory waiting period and the option of an on-the-papers decree. The kit is the official New Hampshire Judicial Branch set: the Petition (NHJB-2057-F) or Joint Petition (NHJB-2058-F), the Financial Affidavit and Rule 1.25A checklist, and the party-prepared Final Decree (NHJB-2071-F). The settlement product is a PublicLegal-authored marital settlement agreement - New Hampshire publishes no statewide settlement form. Those blank official forms are free at courts.nh.gov - you are paying for current-edition packaging and ILRG product support. The FAQ below covers the details.
See page 1 of the actual blank form and review a plain-language outline. The complete formatted documents are delivered after checkout.
PETITION FOR DIVORCE (official NHJB-2057-F). The official New Hampshire Judicial Branch petition that opens a no-fault divorce (irreconcilable differences, RSA 458:7-a). Free blank at courts.nh.gov.
Two ways to start: one spouse files the Petition (NHJB-2057-F), or both spouses sign a single Joint Petition (NHJB-2058-F) and skip formal service. One spouse must be domiciled in New Hampshire (RSA 458:5).
The full packet also includes the Receipt of Service (NHJB-2067-F), the Affidavit as to Military Service, the Financial Affidavit (NHJB-2065-F) and Rule 1.25A checklist, the Affidavit of Non-Cohabitation (NHJB-2198-F), the official Final Decree (NHJB-2071-F), and the PublicLegal-authored settlement agreement.
No fixed waiting period: agreed cases can finish on the papers, but the judge signs the Final Decree.

The 1 packet documents listed on this page are included, delivered in PDF format. The packet centers on the Petition for Divorce (NHJB-2057-F) that opens an uncontested no-fault case, plus the supporting filing documents and reference materials shown above.
At least one spouse must be domiciled in New Hampshire when the petition is filed, and the court needs jurisdiction over both spouses (RSA 458:5). File in the Circuit Court Family Division for the county where you or your spouse lives. Both spouses may instead sign a single Joint Petition (NHJB-2058-F), which skips formal service.
This packet uses the no-fault ground of irreconcilable differences that have caused the irremediable breakdown of the marriage (RSA 458:7-a). New Hampshire allows agreed no-fault divorces; if your spouse will contest, consult a New Hampshire attorney.
New Hampshire sets no fixed statutory waiting period between filing and the Final Decree, and agreed cases can be approved largely on the papers (RSA 458:7-a) - but do not count on a specific date, because court schedules and judicial review vary. You are not divorced until the judge signs the Final Decree (NHJB-2071-F).
No. This packet is the agreed path for spouses who settle every issue. If your spouse will contest, consult a New Hampshire attorney about the contested process.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. Consult a New Hampshire attorney if you have significant property, retirement accounts, business interests, safety concerns, or any disagreement about terms.
