Collaborative Divorce in Nevada

When divorce cases end up in court, the focus is usually on disagreements, retaliation, and distrust. However, in a collaborative divorce, all of the issues are worked out through mediation and private and confidential negotiations. Having an attorney there to represent you can also help make for a more agreeable setting in which to discuss the important issues involved in a divorce.

The Collaborative Divorce Process

For a collaborative divorce to be recognized by the state of Nevada, the following must be involved:

• At the beginning of the divorce proceedings, both parties and their lawyers must sign a written contract
• Individual meetings must follow where both spouses and their respective attorneys negotiate the issues
• Once all issues are resolved, one of the spouse's lawyers will file the agreement
• This legal document is then submitted to the court as an uncontested divorce
