How Divorce Works in Las Vegas
Nevada No-Fault Divorce in the Eighth Judicial District Court
Nevada is a no-fault state under NRS 125.010 — the only ground required is that the marriage is irreparably broken. You need six weeks of Nevada residency before filing (NRS 125.020).
The process moves through five stages: filing the Complaint, financial disclosure (NRCP 16.2), temporary orders, mediation or trial, and the final Decree of Divorce. About 90% of Nevada divorces settle before trial — but when the opposing side knows you are trial-ready, settlement terms improve dramatically.
