Legal Question in Family Law in New Hampshire

marriage license requirements

My town clerk insisted upon a certified copy of my divorce decree before she would issue a marriage license. I looked at the NH RSA (Title XLIII 457:23) and it does not explicitly state that a certified copy is needed. It just says ''(b) A copy of the final divorce decree...''

I have the copy of the divorce decree sent by the court. Do I really need to get a certified copy?

Re: marriage license requirements

Well, you could either get what the clerk says they require or you could take the time to file a lawsuit.
