Can I get legally separated instead of divorced?

Posted by Abigail Roy | Jul 21, 2026 | 0 Comments

Yes. New Hampshire law allows legal separation as an alternative to divorce in certain circumstances. A legal separation permits the court to address parenting, child support, alimony, and property issues while the parties remain legally married. Some couples choose legal separation because of religious beliefs, health insurance considerations, military benefits, or financial planning. Because a legal separation does not dissolve the marriage, neither spouse may remarry unless a divorce is later granted.
