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.

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
