How Do I Get Divorced in Las Vegas?
Nevada recognizes different types of divorce, and we can assist in any of these areas. Individuals who are considering divorce must also carefully prepare for related matters, such as child support, child custody, property distribution, visitation rights, and alimony.
If you fulfill Nevada's residency requirement of at least six weeks before filing for divorce, we can assist you with the following:
- Contested divorce - in which both parties do not agree on issues such as custody, support, alimony, or visitation
- Uncontested or collaborative divorce - in which both parties agree on all issues pertaining to the divorce

- Uncontested divorce by publication: Up to 4 months
- Contested: Up to 3 months (or longer if the division of property gets very complex).
