Las Vegas Divorce Lawyer
A contested
divorce action begins when one party files
a complaint, and the other party files
an answer and/or a counterclaim. From
there, the matter could continue through
litigation in court and end in a divorce
trial if the parties do not settle. You need a Las Vegas divorce lawyer.
Among the issues that must be considered
are:
|
|
| • |
Jurisdiction:
It is important to determine if Nevada has
jurisdiction. If one party to the divorce
resided in Nevada during the six (6) weeks
prior to the filing, there is personal jurisdiction,
but that doesn't necessarily mean that Nevada
is the proper state, particularly if the
other party resides in another state. |
| • |
Division of property:
Nevada is a community property state. This
means that all marital assets and debts
are to be divided equally, but may be divided
equitably, depending on your particular
situation. |
| • |
Attorney Fees:
If there is a large discrepancy in the parties'
income, the party with the lower income
may apply for attorney fees. However, the
courts are increasingly not awarding them
unless the situation demands such award.
