Community assets (property) includes but is not limited to: checking, savings, 401k retirement accounts, houses, vehicles, pensions, IRAs, and personal property, to include pets and animals.

Community debt includes but is not limited to: credit cards, medical bills, personal loans, student loans, & tax debt. The division of debt does not affect creditors’ rights to collect the debt. The parties may be required to restructure the debts per creditors’ requirements. Do not list debt associated with any of the above assets. For instance, a house or car would be listed as an asset, not as a debt, even if there is an exisiting mortgage or payment.

Nevada law says that at least one Petitioner must live in Nevada before a legal separation can be granted. The parties must choose one Petitioner only—either Petitioner 1 or Petitioner 2—whose Nevada residency will be used for the legal separation. Only one Petitioner is selected, not both. A Resident Witness is another adult who personally knows the chosen Petitioner and sees them in person three or more times per week. The Resident Witness must be at least 18 years old, must live in Nevada, and must have a valid Nevada ID. The Resident Witness may be a friend, family member, co-worker, parent, adult child, roommate, or any other adult who has regular, personal contact with the chosen Petitioner and knows the Petitioner's address. The Resident Witness signs a sworn statement, called an Affidavit, stating that the selected Petitioner resides in Nevada. This Affidavit must be notarized. If a Resident Witness Affidavit is not provided, or if the Resident Witness does not meet these requirements, the Court will not finalize the legal separation.
