Where Henderson residents file

Henderson is part of Clark County. That means a Henderson divorce is filed in the same court that serves Las Vegas and North Las Vegas: the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County. Living in Henderson does not change the court, the forms, or the residency rule. It simply confirms that your case belongs in Clark County. Because everything is handled remotely, your Henderson address does not require any in-person courthouse trips in most cases.

Who is eligible

A joint uncontested divorce is available when the following are all true:

• Both spouses agree on all terms, including property, debts, and any spousal matters.
• The Nevada residency requirement is met (see below).
• The matter qualifies for a summary decree under NRS 125.181.

If the two of you stop agreeing, the matter is no longer uncontested and this limited-scope service may not be a fit.

Nevada residency for Henderson filers

At least one spouse must have lived in Nevada for a minimum of six continuous weeks before the joint petition is filed. Because Henderson is in Nevada, a Henderson resident who has been in the state for at least six continuous weeks satisfies this requirement. Only one spouse needs to meet it.

Flat-fee cost

Fees are quoted up front so there are no surprises:

• No minor children: a flat $995 attorney fee, plus an approximately $350 Clark County court filing fee that is set by the court.
• With minor children: the fee is quoted individually after review, because custody and support terms add work.
• Online notarization: arranged separately by the parties and typically about $25 to $40 per signature, paid directly to the notary. This is not a charge by the firm.

Timeline

Most Henderson cases are completed in about 3 to 6 weeks. Court processing times are set by the court and are not guaranteed, so the exact date your decree is signed depends on the court's schedule.

The online, remote process

The service is handled online and remotely from start to finish, with no office visit required. In general terms, you provide your information, the firm prepares your documents, you review and sign them, notarization is completed online, and the documents are filed with the Eighth Judicial District Court. You can complete each step from home in Henderson at your own pace.

Attorney oversight and who is represented

Your documents are prepared and reviewed under the supervision of Husna Alikhan, Esq., of Alikhan Law Office, LLC, a licensed Nevada attorney with more than two decades of legal practice. The firm represents the Petitioner only. The other spouse, the Co-Petitioner, is not represented by the firm, takes part in proper person (self-represented), signs an Acknowledgment of Non-Representation, and is encouraged to seek independent counsel. The firm does not give the Co-Petitioner legal advice.
