The Uncertainty Of Divorce
A divorce is filled with uncertainty, which can be extremely stressful. Even when you and your divorcing spouse mutually agree that the marriage has ended and you are expecting it to be amicable, we know from experience that anything can happen.
When you hire a divorce attorney from our firm, we will take the time to educate you about what you can expect during the divorce process and make sure we are answering all of your questions. We want to take away as much of the uncertainty as possible and hopefully ease your stress, too, by letting you know what is likely to happen during your case. Moving forward, we will make sure that you know what is going on with your case and keep you involved. You will be involved in all of the decisions regarding your case. After all, it is your case.
We Provide Honest Assessments And Case Evaluations
We know that nothing good comes if we just tell you what you want to hear. While that would certainly be comforting, it could lead to some unfortunate surprises. We believe that you deserve an honest assessment of your case and the various scenarios that evolve and develop as it progresses. If there are going to be challenges, we will tell you about them. We will provide the worst-case scenario as well as the best-case scenario. We do not want you to be surprised by the outcome of your divorce case. We will do our best to help you achieve the best-case scenario realities.
Comprehensive Legal Services For Divorce Cases
All divorce cases are complex simply because of the number of issues that need to be resolved all at the same time. We will make sure that we understand your goals in every divorce-related matter and that the strategy we use is designed to meet those goals. This approach is why we have achieved positive results when it comes to:
- Property division
- Child custody and visitation
- Child support
- Alimony
For many people, divorce is a reaction as opposed to a plan. Sometimes, planning for a divorce is just as important as filing for one. Our family law attorneys help people with divorce planning in a variety of ways, including the creation of postnuptial agreements.
How Long Does It Take To Finalize A Divorce In Nevada?
The timeline can be a significant concern when you’re going through a divorce. In Nevada, the timeline for a divorce varies depending on several factors, including the complexity of the case and whether both parties can agree on the terms of the divorce.
If there are disputes over issues such as property division, child custody, or alimony, the process can take longer. Contested divorces, where parties cannot reach an agreement, often require court intervention and can extend the timeline to several months or even years.
What Are The Requirements To File For Divorce In Nevada?
To file for divorce in the state of Nevada, either you or your spouse must have lived in Nevada for at least six weeks before filing for divorce. This residency requirement ensures that the state has jurisdiction over your case.
You will need to provide proof of residency, such as an affidavit from a Nevada resident who can attest to your six-week stay. Additionally, the divorce petition must be filed in the district court of the county where either spouse resides.
