2025But cf., In the Matter of Costa & Costa, 156 N.H. 323, 325, 330-31 (2007) (vacating division of husband’s retirement benefits in case where husband’s employment began in 1987 and the parties married in 1992, and remanding with instruction that if “buyout is not a feasible option . . . the trial court should enter a decree . . . per Hodgins”). [¶14] We now clarify that Hodgins continues to provide the default rule for cases where, as in Hodgins, no portion of the pension was earned prior to marriage.
