Who Is Eligible to File for Divorce?

To file for divorce, one or both parties must have resided in the state for at least the previous six weeks before filing. The only exception is if the “cause of action” happened in the state while both you and your spouse were living there for any period of time.

You can file for divorce at the district court in any county where you live, your spouse lives, you and your spouse last lived together, or where the cause of the divorce occurred, even if neither spouse ever lived in Nevada.

Is Nevada a No-Fault Divorce State?

Yes. Nevada is a no-fault divorce state, meaning you aren’t required to provide proof of wrongdoing by either party (such as abuse or infidelity) in the marriage to obtain a divorce. This allows one party to file for divorce even if their spouse doesn’t want one.

“Grounds” refer to legally acceptable reasons for divorce. These may include:

Incompatibility. You and your spouse are incompatible (can’t get along).
Separation. Both spouses lived separately for one year without cohabitation.
Insanity. Your spouse experiences insanity for two years before filing for divorce.

How Is Property Divided in a Nevada Divorce?

Nevada is a community property state that presumes all assets and debts acquired during the marriage belong equally to both spouses. While courts aim to divide marital property equally in a divorce, this doesn’t necessarily guarantee a 50/50 split. Separately owned property, such as certain gifts or inheritances, isn’t subject to property division in a divorce.

For assets like the family home, one spouse may be awarded ownership while the other receives a buyout for their share of the equity. If neither party can afford to keep the home, the court may order the sale of the property and distribute the proceeds between the spouses. Retirement accounts, investment portfolios, and business interests are also commonly divided by valuation and transfer rather than liquidation.

When disagreements arise, the court relies on financial records, expert valuations, and documentation to determine how community property should be allocated between the parties in accordance with state law. Consulting with our lawyers is strongly recommended to pursue a fair division that reflects your contributions to the marriage and protects your hard-earned assets.

Is Alimony Automatically Awarded in a Divorce?

No. Alimony is never automatic in a divorce, but is determined by a judge on a case-by-case basis. Support obligations depend on two primary factors, including the requesting spouse’s need for support and the other spouse’s ability to pay.

The court may consider various factors to determine the amount and duration of alimony, such as:

The length of the marriage
The age and health of each spouse
Each spouse’s income and earning capacity
The standard of living established during the marriage
Each spouse’s contributions to the marriage, including childcare and domestic labor

Whether you’re requesting support for yourself or disputing a request for payments, we can step in to calculate your marital standard of living, uncover any hidden income, and advocate for an arrangement that protects your financial security.
