The following factors are commonly evaluated under New Hampshire law:

1. Duration of the marriage
2. Income and liabilities of each spouse
3. Contributions to the marriage including homemaking
4. Future earning capacity
5. Tax consequences
6. Waste or dissipation of marital assets
7. Custodial needs
8. Any other factors for fairness

New Hampshire Property Division

New Hampshire RSA §458:16-a establishes a presumption of equal division of marital property. This presumption may be rebutted by demonstrating that equal division is not equitable, considering the length of the marriage, age and health of parties, contributions, future needs, and other statutory factors. The statute provides a non-exclusive list of considerations for the court.
