Nevada is one of the easiest states to get divorced in. It's a no-fault state, meaning you don't have to prove anyone did anything wrong — "incompatibility" is enough. And if you both agree on the terms, the summary process can wrap up in weeks, not months.
NRS 125.020 only requires that one spouse has lived in Nevada for at least 6 weeks before filing — one of the shortest residency requirements in the country.
Incompatibility, insanity for 2+ years, and living separately for 1+ years. Incompatibility is by far the most common; you don't have to prove anything beyond "we don't get along."
If you both agree on property, debt, custody, and support, you can file a Joint Petition for Summary Decree. With everything stipulated, a judge can sign the decree in as little as 1–3 weeks.
If you can't agree, the case follows standard family-court procedure: temporary orders, mediation, possibly trial. These take 6–18 months and cost significantly more.
Nevada divides marital property and debts equally (with some exceptions). Separate property — what you owned before the marriage or received as a gift/inheritance — typically stays with the original owner.
