Las Vegas Divorce Lawyer
In the case
of an uncontested divorce action, our
Las Vegas office can represent one party and file
a joint petition. A joint petition resolves
the entire case without requiring a court
appearance. On the other hand, if the
parties wish to be involved in a settlement
process but it is uncertain whether the
case will actually settle, then our office
would file a complaint, an answer in proper
person, a decree of divorce, and a request
for a summary disposition so that the
matter can be resolved outside of court.
Our Las Vegas office is very skilled with uncontested
divorces, helping people reach a fair
and amicable solution without going to
court.
Although there are paralegal services
that can provide uncontested divorce filings
at a lower cost, when you retain our firm
your case will be handled by an attorney,
from the settlement to the finalization
of paperwork. Our advantage? We are experienced
in litigation, and because of this experience
we know which issues have a potential
for litigation in the future and we are
here to assure that your case is handled
correctly. We design your decree with
provisions that equally protect both parties,
which in turn lessens the likelihood of
future (costly) litigation. Call (702) 384-9664 for a price quote for your uncontested divorce.
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'
incomes, 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.
