Our reasonable attorney fees start at $250 for a Joint Petition. If both parties are willing to cooperate with a Joint Petition for an uncontested divorce, the matter can be closed quickly without the need for a court appearance.
The laws of the State of Nevada have in place a form of divorce called a Summary Proceeding for Divorce, or more commonly, a Joint Petition.
A Joint Petition can only be used in the case of a totally uncontested divorce. All issues have to be agreed upon. Both parties must be willing to sign the divorce paperwork. One of the parties must be a resident of the State of Nevada, having been physically present and domiciled within the State for a least six weeks prior to the filing of the divorce paperwork. Only one party need provide what is called a resident witness; a person who also lives in Nevada and can sign an affidavit stating that they know one of the parties in the divorce action, see them on a regular basis, and know that they live within the state. Request a consultation to learn more here.
Our office generally prepares all paperwork ready to be signed within 24 hours. The following sets forth exactly the cost of the uncontested Joint Petition:
