Summary

The bill adds a new rule that any agreement where spouses give up all rights to alimony will be upheld, unless a judge determines it was signed under coercion, deceit, duress, fraud, mistake, misrepresentation, illegal circumstances, or would be unconscionable. It applies to all current and future divorce or separation agreements in New Hampshire. The change aims to give certainty to parties who voluntarily waive alimony while protecting them from unfair agreements.
