Frequently Asked Questions
Nevada offers no-fault divorce under NRS 125.010 — incompatibility or separation are sufficient grounds. At least one spouse must have been a Nevada resident for 6 weeks before filing. Clark County Family Court handles Anthem divorces. Issues to be resolved include property division (NRS 125.150), child custody (NRS 125C.003), child support (NRS 125B.070), and alimony. An uncontested divorce can be finalized in as few as 3 weeks.
Under NRS 125C.003, Nevada courts determine child custody based on the best interest of the child. Factors include: the child's relationship with each parent, each parent's ability to foster the other parent's relationship with the child, history of domestic violence (NRS 125C.230), stability of each home, and the child's preference if the child is of sufficient age and maturity. A Anthem family law attorney can help you build the strongest custody case.
Nevada is a community property state under NRS 123.220. Property and debts acquired during the marriage are generally split 50/50, regardless of who earned the money or whose name is on the account. Separate property (owned before marriage or received as a gift/inheritance) is not divided. A Anthem divorce attorney can help identify and protect your separate property and negotiate a fair division of community assets.
Nevada uses a statutory formula under NRS 125B.070 based on the non-custodial parent's gross monthly income and number of children: 18% for one child, 25% for two children, 29% for three children, with adjustments for shared custody arrangements. Courts may deviate from the formula based on the child's special needs or the obligor parent's ability to pay. A Anthem family law attorney can calculate your support obligation or fight for a fair modification.
