Las Vegas Contested Divorce Lawyers
Key Points
- A contested divorce means spouses can’t agree on major issues like asset division, alimony, child support, or child custody, which often leads to litigation.
- Nevada’s community property and no-fault laws shape how contested cases unfold, with property acquired during the marriage presumed to be split evenly and neither spouse required to prove wrongdoing.
- An experienced contested divorce attorney can help even when a case starts as contested, since many spouses are still able to reach a fair agreement before trial with the right legal guidance.

A divorce can be an unsettling experience for a family to endure. It can be a very confusing time and can take an emotional toll on everyone involved.

What Could Complicate a Contested Divorce?
Here are some factors that can complicate the divorce process:
Alimony
Family courts in Nevada consider a number of different factors when determining alimony. This is often the most heavily litigated issue. (NRS 125.150)
Division of Marital Assets
The State of Nevada is a “community property” state. As such, property acquired during the marriage is presumed to be equally owned by both spouses. Nevada courts attempt to divide the community property to both spouses as evenly as possible. (NRS 123.220)(NRS 125.150)
Child Custody
In most instances, the court attempts to give both parents as much time with their children as possible. However, this is never guaranteed. The most important factor considered is the best interest of the child. (NRS 125.150)
Child Support
The State of Nevada follows certain guidelines when calculating child support, however, certain factors could complicate how it is determined. (NRS 125B.070) (NRS 125B.080)
