My husband lives in Chicago and wants a divorce. I have been staying with my parents in NH. If he files can I hire a lawyer to represent me in NH.

I surmise from your question that neither your husband nor you lived in NH during the marriage. Because your husband doesn't live in NH, he cannot file a divorce petition in NH. You may file in NH if you serve your husband with the divorce petition when he is NH. If you have lived in NH for a year or more then you don't need to worry serving him in NH. I would be happy to discuss this further with you if you have questions. Many thanks.
