One-signature Divorce
(Complaint for Divorce)
When filing a Complaint for Divorce in Nevada, one party acts as Plaintiff and the other party is known as the Defendant.- Once the divorce is filed, it becomes necessary to serve the Defendant with the Complaint for Divorce and the Summons. From that time on, the Defendant has 21 days to file an Answer and Counter Claim with the court. If the Defendant does not respond at all, your divorce case continues as an uncontested matter and a Default is filed with the court.
- Once the Default is granted, the Decree of Divorce goes to the judge for consideration. Once the judge signs the decree, and the clerk files it, your divorce becomes final.
- If the Defendant does file an Answer, you now have a contested divorce. If this occurs, it becomes very important to retain a competent and experienced lawyer who practices Nevada family law in order to protect your rights.
When filing a Complaint for Divorce in Nevada, one party acts as PlaintiffCan’t locate your spouse?
If you cannot locate your spouse, you may still obtain a divorce through a default process whereby the Defendant (your spouse) is “served by publication.” This involves attempted service on your spouse by a process server, at your spouse’s last-known address, followed by publication of the Summons in a newspaper, once a week for five weeks, if the process server truly could not find your spouse and therefore could not personally serve the Divorce Complaint and Summons to your spouse.
When is a divorce contested?
- Even when the Defendant does not sign the divorce papers along with the Plaintiff, it does not necessarily mean that the Nevada divorce is contested.
- If a Defendant does nothing after the Nevada divorce is filed and the proper procedure for such cases is followed, the Nevada divorce is still considered to be uncontested.
- A Nevada divorce becomes contested ONLY when Defendant files an Answer (either through an attorney or in Proper Person) stating
that Defendant contests the divorce.
Quick response to questions and a quick decree
The staff at Conexa is very knowledgeable and was very helpful in guiding me through the divorce process. I was very impressed with the quick responses to my questions and the speed in which my divorce was finalized. Hopefully, I will not need this service again, but if I do I would use Conexa.
