New Hampshire: Grounds for Divorce in New Hampshire
Each state has unique grounds in which a divorce may be granted by the court. When choosing the grounds for your divorce, you should always remember that you must have sufficient proof to the court that your marital situation warrants a divorce by the grounds you are requesting the divorce to be granted.
Grounds for Filing: The Petition for Divorce must declare the appropriate New Hampshire grounds upon which the divorce is being sought. The appropriate lawful ground will be that which the parties agree upon and can substantiate, or that which the filing spouse desires to prove to the court. The divorce grounds are as follows:
No-Fault:
Irreconcilable differences which have caused the irremediable breakdown of the marriage.
Fault:
1. Impotence.
2. Adultery.
3. Extreme cruelty.
4. Imprisonment for more than one year.
5. When either party has so treated the other as seriously to injure health or endanger reason.
6. Desertion for up to 2 years together, and has not been heard of.
7. Habitual drinking and has been such for 2 years together.
8. Refused to cohabit with the other for 6 months together.
(New Hampshire Statutes - Chapters: 458:7, 458:26)

If you do not fall under any of the above mentioned grounds for divorce or dissolution, you most likely should consider trying to save your marriage. Many spouses find that they do not meet the requirements of a waiting period, which can be very frustrating, but it is these waiting periods that are in effect in order to help prevent rash decisions to terminate a marriage.
