Frequently Asked Questions
“What is a Joint Petition?”
A Joint Petition for Divorce allows both spouses to sign the divorce papers together as "Co-Petitioners." This waives the need for formal service of process (no sheriff needed) and is the fastest way to divorce in Nevada.
“Why do I need a Resident Witness?”
Nevada law requires proof that at least one spouse has lived in the state for 6 weeks. A third party (friend, family, or neighbor) must sign a Resident Witness Affidavit to confirm your residency. The court will not grant the divorce without it.
“Do I have to go to court?”
In most Joint Petition cases without children (and even many with children), you do not need to attend a hearing. The judge reviews your paperwork in their office and signs the Decree. However, the judge always has the discretion to call a hearing if the paperwork is unclear.
“What is a Summary Decree?”
A Summary Decree is for couples who have been married less than 5 years, have no children, and meet strict asset/debt limits. Our kit covers both the standard Joint Petition (for everyone) and the Summary Decree (for eligible couples).
