Getting Started

A No Fight Divorce (also called an uncontested divorce or joint petition) is an agreement between you and your spouse on "all" the terms of the divorce.  

A No Fight Divorce is the easiest, least expensive, and quickest way to get a divorce. This type of divorce is easy and quick because there are no court hearings.

You review and sign a few documents that are filed with the court. The court reviews them and approves the divorce in two to three weeks. 

To file a No Fight Divorce you "both" must agree on "all" the terms relevant for your situation.  For example, you must agree how to divide bank accounts, how to divide credit cards, who keeps the home, who keeps which cars, a child custody schedule, agree to waive child support, waiving alimony, etc. 

This worksheet is the first step to No Fight Divorce.  Complete this worksheet and share it with spouse to see if you both agree on the terms of the divorce.  

You can also use this worksheet to file a No Fight Legal Separation.

Nevada is a community property state. This means any asset acquired during the marriage is typically divided evenly in a divorce. 

Whose name is on the title or on the bank account is not significant. Your spouse’s name may be the only name on the home or bank account and they could still be community property.

Anything owned before the marriage, or recieved is typically separate property and is not divided evenly.  

The worksheet details what you and your spouse have agreed to. After each item, choose Husband of Wife to show who will be receiving the item. You can split items equally by choosing both Husband and Wife. Add any notes or special details you want to us to know or to include in the documents.

If you both agree that the spouse receiving the property needs to refinance the mortgage to remove the other spouse's name, add those agreement in the notes section.

Not every question needs to be answered.  Only answer the questions that apply to your situation.  

The best practice is list specific assets and debts you and your spouse are each keeping after the  marriage.  This prevents any arguments down the road.  An alternative is to choose  "generic" language like "Husband is keeping all cars, bank accounts, and credits cards in his sole name".   If you wish to use generic language simple make a note of that in the note section.  

Special Terms - Do you have special terms regarding the loans on the homes, want someone to refinance the mortgage within six months, or want to allow your spouse to stay in the home for a specific time?  If so, add those terms to the notes section.  

Generic Language - If you want to use generic language like, "You will keep all properties in your sole name" and same for your spouse, you can note that in section.

List who will be keeping which vehicle or recreational toy.  You can make this decision without worring about whose name is on the title or the loan.   Titles can be changed.  And changing the name on the loan is not always needed or possible.  The court documents will provide you protections from your spouse defaulting on the loan.  

Generic Language - If you want to use generic language like, "You will keep all vehicles in your sole name" and same for your spouse, you can note that in section.

Bank accounts started during the marriage are typically divided evenly.  Even if you kept your bank accounts separate the entire marriage, you should still list which bank accounts will be yours after the divorce.   This way there is no argument which accounts are yours.  

If you both have the same bank account name, then add the last four digits of the account to avoid any confusion.  For example, Wells Fargo #0400 is Husband, and Wells Fargo #0312 is Wife.   

Generic Language - If you want to use generic language like, "You will keep all accounts in your sole name" and same for your spouse, you can note that in section..

Generic Language - If you want to use generic language like, "You will keep all investment accounts in your sole name" and same for your spouse, you can note that in section.

Generic Language - If you want to use generic language like, "You will keep all retirement accounts in your sole name" and same for your spouse, you can note that in section.

IMPORTANT Nevada law.  The day you are divorced, any life insurance listing your ex-spouse as a beneficiary will be void them as a beneficiary  Ex-spouses cannot be a beneficiary after the divorce unless you re-affirm them as the beneficiary with the life insurance company.  

Debts acquired during the marriage are typically divided evenly. Credit cards are unsecure debts.  Secured debts, like a car loan or home loan, typically go with whomever took possession of the asset. Student loan debts usually stay with the spouse who obtained the decree or certificate.

If you both have the same credit, then add the last four digits of the account to avoid any confusion. For example, Capital One #0420 is Husband, and Capital One #0722 is Wife.

Generic Language - If you want to use generic language like, "You will keep all debts your sole name" and same for your spouse, you can note that in section.

This section is optional as all your personal property does not need to be detailed in the divorce documents. Most couples can divide personal property on their own.  We will add language like, "Husband shall keep all personal property, clothing, jewelry, guns, and tools, in his possession. 

However, you may want to be specific about personal property worth over $500 or sentimental in value. This way there is no dispute down the road.

Generic Language - Along with what you listed above, we will be adding the following language to your documents; "You shall keep all personal property, clothing, jewelry, guns, and tools, in his possession", "Spouse shall keep all personal property, clothing, jewelry, guns, and tools, in her possession".

Spousal support is appropriate in long term marriages when there is a big difference in monthly incomes, when one spouse needs montly support, or when one spouse gained a profession or education during the marriage, while the other did not. 

There is no absolute formula for how much spousal support should be paid per month or for how many months. Visit Spousal Support for more information on spousal support. 

List any biological children born of this marriage or adopted children who are under the age of 18.  

Legal custody is making decisions about the child’s school, religion, and medical needs.  Nevada law presumes both parents are mentally fit to have joint legal custody.  Visit Child Custody for more information about child custody. 

Physical custody is a schedule of where the children will be living and sleeping during the week.  Nevada law prefers both parents to have joint physical custody. Joint custody is both parents having a minimum of 146 days of custody a year.

The most common joint custody schedule is the child staying with one parent 4 days one week and 3 days the next week. Week on and week off schedules are more common for older children. If a parent has custody 5 days a week then they have primary physical custody. 

Child support can be calculated by reviewing our child support calculator. Parents can agree to a different amount than calculated or even completely waive child support. 

Nevada law requires each parent to cover health insurance and medical expenses equally.

Add any notes or special instructions you would like us to know or that you want to include in the final divorce documents.
