New Hampshire is the Easiest State to Get a Divorce in the Entire U.S.

Divorce is never "easy," however, if it's something that you and your partner want and you live in New Hampshire, you both are in luck.  It's the easiest state to get a divorce in the entire U.S.

Divorce Laws Vary From State to State

Divorce laws vary from state to state.  Some states make it really difficult to do, like our twin state of Vermont.  Here in New Hampshire, according to dadsdivorce.com, it is much easier.

Vermont Divorces Take a Minimum of 15 Months

Wow, talk about really making it difficult.  In Vermont, according to dadsdivorce.com, it will take a minimum of 15 months to call it quits.  I bet there are marriages that lasted way shorter that have to file and wait.

In Vermont, you also have to live apart for a minimum of 6 months.  They don't make it easy in the Green Mountain State.

Here in New Hampshire, We Live Free and Divorce

It's much easier here in New Hampshire.  We don't have as many restrictions and the cost is not sky high to file all the paperwork.

When I got my divorce here in New Hampshire in 1997, I remember the whole process being very easy, as far as making everything legal, that is. Neither one of us had an attorney and we were able to settle pretty quickly.

Regardless of what the laws are, it is not easy to get a divorce, no matter what.  There are usually big feelings when you decide to marry someone, so it's hard on many levels to say "that's it, I'm done."  Many equate the process to a significant death.  It's so much worse when you have kids too.
