Nevada joint and uncontested divorce, Eighth Judicial District Court (Clark County)
If you and your spouse agree on everything, Nevada lets you end your marriage together with a single, streamlined filing: a Joint Petition for Summary Decree of Divorce under NRS 125.181. This page explains what that filing is, who can use it in Clark County, what it costs, how long it typically takes, and how our attorney-managed online process works from start to finish.
See If You QualifyA Joint Petition for Summary Decree of Divorce is a Nevada divorce that both spouses sign and file together under NRS 125.181. Because the spouses already agree on every issue, there is no plaintiff suing a defendant and no contested court battle. Instead, both spouses are joint petitioners who ask the court to approve their agreement and enter a decree. In many cases the judge can sign the decree based on the paperwork alone, without a trial and often without a court hearing.
In Clark County these cases are filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court. When the matter genuinely qualifies as uncontested, the joint petition is typically the fastest and least expensive path to a completed divorce.
The joint petition process is designed for couples who are fully in agreement. You may be a good fit when all of the following are true:
This service covers Clark County and the surrounding Eighth Judicial District, including Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and the rest of Clark County. If there are minor children, the divorce can still proceed by joint petition when both parents agree on custody and support, though the attorney fee is quoted individually because of the additional custody and support work involved.
To file for divorce in Nevada, at least one spouse must have resided in the state for at least six continuous weeks before the case is filed, and must intend to remain a Nevada resident. Only one of the two spouses needs to meet this requirement. Meeting the residency requirement is one of the core conditions for eligibility, so it is confirmed early in the process.
A joint petition filing is a package of documents prepared for the Eighth Judicial District Court. The exact set depends on your situation, but a typical no-children case includes:
The attorney prepares these documents based on the information you provide. You review them, sign where indicated, and complete online notarization before they are filed.
Pricing for the joint petition service is flat and stated up front:
Online notarization is arranged by the parties and typically costs about $25 to $40 per signature, paid directly to the notary. That notary charge is an estimate set by the notary service, not a fee charged by the Firm.
Most joint petition cases are completed in about 3 to 6 weeks from the time the signed, notarized documents are ready to file. Court processing times are set by the Eighth Judicial District Court and are not guaranteed, so the exact timing can vary from case to case. Providing complete and accurate information at the start is the best way to keep a matter moving smoothly.
The entire process is handled online and remotely, with no office visit required. In general terms, it works like this:
A licensed Nevada attorney oversees the document preparation throughout. The Firm represents the Petitioner only. The other spouse takes part as a Co-Petitioner in proper person (self-represented), signs an Acknowledgment of Non-Representation, does not receive legal advice from the Firm, and is encouraged to seek independent counsel.
