Nevada is a no-fault, community-property state. You do not have to prove your spouse did anything wrong to end the marriage, and at least one spouse must have lived in Nevada for a minimum of six weeks before filing. From there, the case follows the same basic path: file the Complaint for Divorce, serve the other spouse, exchange financial disclosures, then resolve custody, support and property, either by agreement or in front of a judge.
How long that takes comes down to one thing: whether you and your spouse agree.
Because Nevada treats most property and debt acquired during the marriage as community property, both spouses are expected to disclose income, accounts, retirement funds, real estate and debts honestly and completely. Getting those records together early is one of the biggest things you can do to keep your case moving and your legal costs down.

An uncontested divorce can finish in a few weeks. Contested cases take longer, depending on the issues involved. We work to resolve yours as efficiently as the facts allow.
No. Nevada is a no-fault state, so you do not have to prove wrongdoing to end a marriage.
At least one spouse must have lived in Nevada for a minimum of six weeks before filing for divorce.
Not necessarily. If you and your spouse agree on custody, support and property, an uncontested divorce can be finalized without a trial. You only go before a judge for the issues you cannot resolve on your own.
Nevada is a community property state, so most income, assets and debts acquired during the marriage are split evenly. Property owned before the marriage, or received individually as a gift or inheritance, is generally treated separately.
