Uncontested Divorce
Uncontested divorces result when spouses completely agree on the terms of a divorce, and the agreement complies with Nevada law.
While uncontested divorces are the most preferable option, they rarely occur, especially in cases involving significant assets and/or minor children.
Be aware that, while you may easily reach verbal "agreements" with your spouse, formalizing such agreements in writing is often more difficult. While uncontested divorces are the best-case scenario, do not be surprised or disappointed if your case becomes contested.
Beginning an Uncontested Divorce
An uncontested divorce starts with a spouse making direct contact with their Las Vegas divorce attorney. The other spouse is also encouraged to consult with an independent divorce attorney.
It is for your protection that you and your spouse do not initially speak with the same attorney, so as to avoid the perception you are both being represented by the same counsel. This would bar the attorney from representing either spouse against the other, in the event any disputes arise.
Our uncontested divorce method allows our attorneys to give you the best legal advice possible, providing you optimal protection in your case. While our attorneys will not work to alter the initial agreement between you and your spouse, they will counsel you as to the fairness of the agreement for both parties. If an agreement is found to be unfair to you, we will provide you with alternatives.
Above all else, know that you will make the final decision on all matters in your case. Our duty is to educate you on the possible outcomes that could result from your decisions.
Upon reaching a final agreement on the terms of your case, your attorney will prepare all of the final documents including a Decree of Divorce. Once the documents have been signed by both spouses, the Clark County Family Court system usually takes between one and three weeks to finalize the divorce.
Legal Fees and Costs for Uncontested Divorces
The amount you will pay varies, depending on how much is at issue in the case, the level of conflict between you and your spouse, the amount of legal work involved, the duration of the case, and other factors. read more.
