The price of a divorce can be a couple of hundred dollars or several hundred thousand dollars. There are lots of reasons for this.
First, where you file for divorce can cause fees to go up. Fees vary from county to county. Some counties may be cheaper than others to file. Also, the type of divorce you file (uncontested, joint petition, contested) can make divorce costs go up. If you hire an attorney, the fees can also vary depending on how complicated your case is.
At Rosenblum Allen Law Firm, our divorce packages start at $1,500. That being said, we also divorces that cost tens of thousands of dollars due to the complexity and the animosity of the spouses.
Beware of services promising a divorce for $150 or $500 – make sure this includes all fees and costs and make sure the case is being handled by an attorney. It is always best to meet with a divorce lawyer to discuss your specific case.
The fastest way to get divorced in Nevada is with a joint petition. A joint petition divorce means that the spouses agree on how everything will be split up. Usually, it takes about 72 hours from the time the joint petition is filed until the divorce is finalized. With a joint petition, there is no court required. It is just paperwork.
Joint petitions can be complicated and require detailed paperwork. If you are interested in learning more about a joint petition for your divorce, we recommend that you consult with an attorney to discuss the specifics.
It is not unusual that when divorce happens, one spouse feels anger and resentment. A spouse may not want to get divorced. There are ways to fight a divorce and to make the divorce process long and painful. But in the end, divorce is inevitable. However, in Nevada, if one side wants a divorce, the Court will grant it, even if the other spouse doesn’t want it.
Whether or not one spouse can keep the marital residence after divorce depends on a number of factors. First, it will depend when and how the home was acquired. If your spouse bought the residence in only their name before marriage, it is less likely you will be able to keep the house once you are divorce – though it’s not impossible. Second, it will depend on your financial situation. You may need to buy out your spouse’s community property interest in the house. If you have enough funds to do this, or if you can refinance the home and take cash out to pay off your ex, you may be able to keep your home. There are other ways to structure divorce settlements if keeping your home is something you truly want to explore. We suggest speaking with a qualified divorce lawyer to learn more.
