Uncontested Divorce
Uncontested Divorces are those divorces where you and your spouse are in agreement on all issues relevant to your divorce matter. Your agreement must also comply with Nevada law.
We encourage Uncontested Divorces whenever possible. However, truly Uncontested Divorces are rare, especially if there are assets and/or minor children involved.
Verbal discussions and "agreements" with your spouse are one thing. Putting "pen to paper" is quite another. Again, we encourage Uncontested Divorce matters, but you should not be surprised or disappointed if it does not work out that way.
Beginning an Uncontested Divorce
Uncontested Divorces begin with one party, and only one party, speaking directly with Las Vegas divorce attorneys Jennifer V. Abrams or Vincent Mayo. Your spouse is also encouraged to consult with an independent divorce lawyer.
The reason that only one party speaks with Attorney Abrams or Mayo is for your protection. If they initially speak with both parties, there is a perception that they are legally representing both parties as well. If a dispute were to arise on any issue, (which is common) they could not represent either party, against the other, to resolve it. Both parties would then have to select, and pay additional fees to two different divorce lawyers.
The Uncontested Divorce method we employ is the best form of protection for you. Our method allows Attorney Abrams or Mayo to provide you with meaningful and beneficial legal advice. However, it is not our role to change what you and your spouse have agreed to. Rather, your Attorney will advise you on whether your agreement is fair to both parties, or benefits one party over the other. Attorney Abrams and Mayo will often suggest alternatives if the agreement you have reached with your spouse is not in your best interest.
Regardless of any of the above, you have the final say. Our responsibility is to inform you of the potential consequences of your decision.
Once a final determination has been reached regarding the terms, we will prepare a Decree of Divorce, and numerous other related documents for your review, approval, and the signatures of both parties. After all signed and notarized documents are returned to our office, Uncontested Divorces are typically finalized by the Clark County Family Court in one to three weeks.
