A No Fight Divorce also called a joint petition or joint divorce, means that both you and your spouse agree to all terms. If you and your spouse agree to the terms of your divorce you file a few documents with the court and the divorce is final. Get started by completing our No Fight Divorce Worksheet with your spouse. If you both agree to the terms on the worksheet, Right Divorce Lawyers will draft the documents, file them with the court, and finalize your divorce. No court hearings are needed. It takes us about four days to draft the documents. It takes the court about three weeks to finalize the divorce.

The single most important factor to qualify for a no fight divorce is that you and your spouse agree to all terms. That includes how to split your bank and credit card accounts, who retains ownership of any vehicles or property, whether one spouse must pay the other support, and how to handle child custody and visitation. Even if you and your spouse agree to all terms, however, there may be other factors that might rule out the option for a no fight divorce. In Nevada, a no fight divorce also requires that either you or your spouse have lived within the state for at least six weeks. In addition, if you or your spouse have children under 18 years old, those children must have lived within Nevada for at least six months prior to the divorce filing.

From start to finish, a no fight divorce can be final in as little as a few weeks. Once you and your spouse agree to all terms, the Simple Divorce documents can be finalized and signed by each of you, a process that can be completed over a few days. After you sign, the documents can then be filed with the court and reviewed by a judge. The court review process typically takes around three weeks. If there are no issues, the judge will sign, and the divorce is then final.

Divorce terms are decided in two ways. In a contested divorce, the spouses disagree about some aspect of the divorce, such as child custody or how to divide an asset. In a contested divorce a judge makes a final decision after hearing each side’s argument. In a no fight divorce, both spouses agree on all terms, either at first or after some negotiation. No Fight Divorces are simpler, shorter, and less expensive, so it does benefit you to pursue this option first. What's the difference between a No Fight and a traditional divorce.

In order to file a no fight divorce, you and your spouse must reach an agreement about all matters. Most arrangements between spouses require an agreement on five main categories: 1. Child Custody: If you or your spouse has children, you both must agree to terms of custody. That will determine who is responsible for taking care of the children and who is allowed to make decisions on their behalf. 2. Child Support: In addition to deciding custody of the children, you and your spouse must agree on whether either parent will pay child support. 3. Community Property: You and your spouse need to agree about how to split your community property. Generally speaking, community property is assets acquired during the marriage. 4. Community Debts: You and your spouse must agree on who will be responsible for any debts you acquired during the marriage. Debts such as mortgages, credit cards, and personal loans need to be discussed. 5. Spousal Support: Also known as alimony, spousal support is a payment to a spouse after a divorce is final. You and your spouse must agree on whether alimony will be paid, to whom, and how much. 6. If you and your spouse do not agree on all of these terms, you will not qualify for a no fight divorce. In that case, you will file a contested divorce, and a judge will make the final decisions regarding any disputes.

Once you make the decision to divorce, you need to know if your spouse will agree to both the separation and all terms. This will determine if the divorce will be contested or no fight. In a contested divorce, both parties typically hire their own attorneys to file divorce papers. A process that can be both costly and lengthy. Contested divorces can take six months or longer. At the end of a contested divorce, a judge makes the final decisions regarding any disputes. To get started, please complete our No Fight Divorce Worksheet. We draft all the documents and file all the documents with the court. The process takes between two and three weeks.

If you and your spouse have children, a no fight divorce’s terms must include an agreement on child custody and child support. Child custody refers to the physical and legal care of the children. Who has the children on what days? Who is authorized to make arrangements on behalf of the children, such as education, medical, and travel decisions? In a no fight divorce, you and your spouse must agree to the custody terms. Child support refers to financial payments you or your spouse may have to make to each other to pay for the care of the child. There are many factors taken into consideration when determining if child support should be paid, and how much. As long as you and your spouse agree, the terms can be written into a no fight divorce. This Child Support Calculator can help you calculate the level of support based on Nevada law.

By law, a no fight divorce requires your spouse’s agreement and signature. If your spouse does not want a divorce, you will need to pursue other options such as a contested divorce or default divorce. Before you give up on a no fight divorce, consider hiring an attorney to help you negotiate terms. Right Divorce Lawyers offers a Simple Divorce package that includes several hours with a licensed divorce attorney who can help you pursue the agreement and signature.

You may be able to get a no fight divorce even if you are unsure of where your spouse is living. If you cannot locate your spouse, there are service providers – called skip tracers – that will find them. Once you have an address, you can attempt to send divorce papers and hope your spouse agrees, signs, and returns the papers. If you know where your spouse lives, but do not communicate, a divorce attorney can serve as an intermediary. Your lawyer can negotiate terms on your behalf and seek the signature you need for the divorce. If you cannot get a signature from your spouse, there are other divorce options you can pursue.

Be friendly, be polite, and be sympathetic to the situation. Ask your spouse if they would be interested in an “no fight” divorce. I stress the no fight part because you want to relay that you want to an easy divorce. Only three outcomes when discussing our no fight worksheet with your spouse. No response. Fully agrees. Somewhat agrees. No response means you will need to file a contested divorce. Fully agrees means you can file a no fight divorce (aka Simple Divorce). Somewhat agrees is a sign the divorce terms can be mediated. If you cannot get a signature from your spouse, there are other divorce options you can pursue.
