DIVORCE

Nevada is a no-fault state, which means that either party can file for divorce based upon incompatibility. No proof is necessary as to the reasons for divorce. Nevada is also a community property state, which means that property acquired during the marriage should be equally divided, absent a compelling reason otherwise.

  1. DIVORCE

  2. Nevada is a no-fault state, which means that either party can file for divorce based upon incompatibility. No proof is necessary as to the reasons for divorce. Nevada is also a community property state, which means that property acquired during the marriage should be equally divided, absent a compelling reason otherwise. One example of a reason that the court might divide property in an unequal manner is community waste. Community waste claims can be difficult to prove, but if you believe your spouse has wasted community property you should discuss this with your attorney (i.e. affair, gambling, unauthorized purchases, etc.).

  3. Property inherited during the marriage, gifts made to you during marriage, and personal injury awards remain your separate property as long the property was kept in a separate, not joint account. Debts that were acquired during the marriage are also community. If a settlement cannot be reached, the court will hold a trial to resolve property and debts of the marriage.

  4. If you and your spouse have minor children, the court requires a custody schedule and child support amount to resolve the case. If you cannot agree upon a custody schedule, you will be ordered to attend mediation at the Family Medication Center. After mediation, if you have not agreed upon a custody schedule, the court will schedule a trial to make a determination on custody.
