Is Nevada a No-Fault Divorce State?

The state of Nevada is a no-fault state for divorce, meaning you can file based on irreconcilable differences or incompatibility. You may also request to file for divorce by claiming that your spouse has suffered from insanity for at least two years, or that you two have been separated for at least a year.

How Long Does it Take to Get a Divorce in Nevada?

Before filing for the divorce, you must meet the residency requirements of the state, which is six weeks. You must also file in the same county that you or your spouse lives.

Does Nevada Have a Waiting Period for Divorce?

The process time in Nevada courts is usually a lot faster than other states. This is because there is no waiting period before the divorce is granted. If both spouses agree to all terms of the divorce, it will go much more quickly than for those who cannot agree.

If you and your spouse can’t come to a mutual agreement on certain issues then you will most likely go to trial which may extend the duration by many months, sometimes a year or more.

These issues include:

  • Custody
  • Asset division
  • Or support

Does It Matter Who Files for Divorce First in Nevada?

In Nevada, it does not matter who files for divorce first. Although, If you go to trial, you will go first if your case goes that far. The court treats both spouses equally, regardless of who filed the divorce petition.

However, there are some practical implications of who files first. For example, the spouse who files first will be the "Petitioner," and the other spouse will be the "Respondent." The Petitioner will be responsible for serving the Respondent with the divorce paperwork and must pay the filing fee.

The Petitioner will also be responsible for setting the initial hearing date, which is the date when the court will first hear the case. The Respondent will be able to respond to the Petitioner's allegations at this hearing.

If you are considering filing for divorce in Nevada, speaking with an attorney to discuss your legal options and ensure you understand the process is essential.
