What is an Uncontested Divorce?
An uncontested divorce is common, and in most instances, the least expensive one in Nevada and usually the quickest. As such, this method usually results in significant savings due to less lawyer’s fees and fewer court costs.
It is permitted when both spouses are able to agree on all terms, such as;
- Division of their community property and debt,
- Alimony (spousal support), and
- If the parties have a minor child in common—child support, child custody, and visitation issues.
An uncontested divorce can also be beneficial to both spouses because it allows them to keep the facts surrounding their marriage private by avoiding the trial process. Seek help from a trusted Las Vegas uncontested divorce lawyer at Mills & Anderson.
Who Can Get an Uncontested Divorce in Nevada?
In order to petition a Nevada court for divorce, at least one of the spouses must have resided in Nevada for a minimum of six (6) weeks prior to the original divorce papers being filed.
In addition, a “resident witness” must accompany the petition to establish the court’s jurisdiction over the divorce. The resident witness must be a Nevada resident willing to sign a document stating the spouse has lived in Nevada for at least six weeks.
What are the Grounds for Divorce in Nevada?
The State of Nevada is a “no-fault” divorce state.
This means that a spouse is not required to prove their spouse did something to cause the divorce and only needs to disclose that they are “incompatible”, in other words, unable to get along and resolve their marital issues.
What Are the Criteria of an Uncontested Divorce?
When both spouses are able to agree on all the terms, they qualify for an uncontested divorce.
Some of the most common issues of a divorce involve:
- Children: The spouses seeking an uncontested divorce either don’t have children that are minors or the spouses have children that are minors and have executed a written agreement establishing custody, visitation, and child support. (Chapter 125 of the NRS)
- Alimony: The spouses seeking an uncontested divorce have either waived their rights to alimony or they have executed a written agreement establishing the terms of their alimony. (Chapter 125 of the NRS)
- Marital Assets and Debts: The spouses seeking an uncontested divorce do not have joint or community property/debt or they have executed a written agreement dividing the property/debt to the court’s satisfaction. (Chapter 125 of the NRS)
Is an Uncontested Divorce Right For Me?
Any Las Vegas uncontested divorce lawyer will tell you that agreement means a faster, cheaper, and less painful divorce. However, an agreement is not always feasible.
