Yes. In New Hampshire, one spouse cannot prevent the other from obtaining a divorce simply by refusing to participate. After the Petition for Divorce is properly served or service is accepted, the case may continue even if the responding spouse fails to file the required pleadings or appear in court. The Family Division may, in appropriate circumstances, enter default orders after the procedural requirements have been satisfied. Even when a spouse does not participate, the filing party must still present sufficient evidence for the court to grant the requested relief. The court retains an independent obligation to ensure that any final orders comply with New Hampshire law.
