Desrochers v. Desrochers
Supreme Court of New Hampshire
347 A.2d 150 (N.H. 1975)
Relevant factsFree
Dana (plaintiff) sought divorce from Real (defendant) after roughly three years of marriage, testifying she no longer loved him and that he lacked stable employment and had initially wanted a son rather than their daughter, though Real had since grown attached to their daughter and paid support as best he could; Real testified he still loved Dana and their daughter and did not want a divorce, and the trial court failed to rule on whether to grant one.
IssueFree
Whether a court may grant a divorce if the evidence shows that there is an irreparable breakdown of the marriage with no reasonable possibility for reconciliation between the parties.
