Las Vegas, Nevada, Area Divorce Lawyers
Nevada is not just a common destination for weddings; our state has also been called the divorce capital of the United States. This doesn't mean our residents are more prone to the problems that lead to dissolution of marriage, but there are a number of laws favorable to those who choose to get divorced here. Contact us, if you are facing or considering divorce in Nevada.
Here are some basic key points on Nevada divorce:
- You can get a divorce in Nevada regardless of what state or country issued your marriage license.
- Nevada has the shortest residency requirement for divorce of any U.S. state, at just six weeks.
- Grounds to assign "fault" are not required for a Nevada divorce; most divorcing couples cite irreconcilable differences.
- Property division in a Nevada divorce is based on community property principles, with the intention that all assets acquired during the marriage are to be divided equally.
At Nevada Law Group, we recognize that every divorce is unique. The emotional and financial challenges you face can be monumental or less severe, depending on your circumstances. We will negotiate and fight for you on child custody, visitation, property division and spousal support/alimony issues and put our broad legal and business experience to good use if you must dispute ownership of community assets, commingled property or nonmarital property.
Our experience extends to filing for divorce against uncooperative, absent and missing parties using process servers worldwide who produce results.
