RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR NEVADA DIVORCE

Nevada law allows one to file for divorce after having lived in the same Nevada county for six weeks. This is one of the most liberal residency requirements for divorce in the United States. To file for a Nevada divorce you will need someone willing to complete an “Affidavit Of Resident Witness.” This affidavit is the means by which the Court verifies that one of the parties has indeed been continuously residing in one Nevada county for the six week period.

If neither party resides in Nevada, they may not file for a Nevada divorce unless this is the last place the spouses co-habitated. It is not uncommon for persons to believe they can file for a Las Vegas divorce simply because they were married here. This is not correct; to file for divorce you must satisfy the aforementioned requirements.
