UNCONTESTED DIVORCES

A Nevada divorce can be obtained relatively quickly if the parties agree on all issues. An uncontested divorce involves filing a document known as a Joint Petition For Divorce. The Joint Petition is the document in which the parties lay out the terms of divorce that they have agreed upon (including all financial and child custody issues). A Decree of Divorce can be submitted to the Judge for signature once the Joint Petition has been filed. To file a Joint Petition, one of the parties will need to have resided in Nevada for at least six weeks. If the parties are in disagreement on any issues than the process must go through a contested divorce.
