Accrued Vacation and Sick Time Is Likely a Divisible Community Asset

On Behalf of | May 3, 2016 | Attorney Blogs, Client Blogs, Our Blog

There are no Nevada cases specifically addressing whether a spouse’s vacation or sick time is divisible as a community asset in the event of divorce. There are  several other states, however, including community property states such as New Mexico and Washington, that have determined that vacation and sick time is marital or community property, which should be divided upon divorce.

It is likely Nevada, like the majority of other states, will find that vacation and sick time is a community asset, vested at the time of the labor, if it was accrued during the marriage and must be equally divided.
