Though I do not know if this solve your problem, you can add assumptions 
to the InverseLaplaceTransform(like you can do with Integrate for 
instance). At least the documentation says so but the Front-End 
stubbornly (rightly?) colors everything after the x in flashy red...

InverseLaplaceTransform[-1/
    h - ((((-h + p)/(h + p))^(m - 2 n))*(h + p)^2)/(h*(h - p)*p), p, x,
   Assumptions -> {m, n} \[Element] Integers && m > 0 && n > 0]
