Fast And No Fault Divorce Strategies
Nevada permits no fault divorce filings (incompatibility or living apart for at least one year) and "fault" based filing (insanity).
The residency requirements for a Nevada divorce require living in Nevada for at least 6 weeks. Under Nevada divorce law the complaint for divorce can be filed in the District Court of the county where one of the spouses resides, where the spouses lived together, where the cause of the divorce occurred or where the filing spouse resided for the minimal period of 6 weeks.
In a complicated Nevada divorce, like other states, an experienced divorce lawyer can help you through the divorce process and ultimately to obtain an enforceable divorce court order in respect to custody issues and the splitting of assets and income.
How Will Your Divorce Papers Handle Property?
Nevada is a community property state. Under Nevada divorce law, the parties retain the property they acquired before commencement of the marriage. For property acquired during the marriage, the Nevada courts attempt to divide such community property between the parties based upon the economic circumstances of each spouse and the merits of favoring one spouse over another (eg. who actually acquired the property).
Property distribution may be subject to alimony or child support considerations. The divorcing parties may by written agreement, usually with the help of a Nevada divorce lawyer or lawyers, divide marital property between them as long as there are provisions for child support and the payment of existing debts. It may be necessary to hire an out-of-state lawyer (non-Nevada) to enforce your child support award in the courts of the state where the paying spouse resides.
Alimony or spousal support is not based upon any asserted fault of either of the parties. Rather, Nevada divorce courts attempt to evaluate the merits of each divorcing party's economic situation and the economic consequences of imposing alimony. Since the factors and consideration behind the award of alimony are varied and intricate, the need for a Nevada divorce lawyer is high in order to guide you through the alimony presentation/defense to the court.
