Joint Petition Divorce Starting at $240
If you and your spouse can agree to all the terms of a divorce you can file an “uncontested divorce”, which is also known as a joint petition or a joint divorce. A joint petition is the name given to the forms used to start an uncontested divorce. So, technically an uncontested divorce is called a joint petition for divorce.
An uncontested divorce is the quickest and least expensive way to get divorced. Both spouses complete a few forms, which detail the terms of the divorce. The forms are filed with the court. A judge reviews the forms and signs the final divorce decree. The whole process takes about three weeks. There are no court hearings.

Benefits of an Uncontested Divorce
The primary benefit of an uncontested divorce is the savings in attorney fees, and the quick time frame for getting a final divorce. Uncontested divorces cost less because they require less legal hearings. Uncontested divorces are a collaborative process, not a litigated process. Because both spouses agree to the terms of the divorce there are no court hearings.
Do You Qualify for Uncontested Divorce?
To file a Joint Petition one of the spouses must have lived in Nevada for 6 weeks. If you have children, the children must have been physically living in Nevada for 6 months. These are required time frames, but there are exceptions. Contact our office to see if you have met Nevada’s residency requirements, or qualify for an exception.
The next stage in determining whether you qualify is to know whether you and your spouse agree to the terms of your divorce. An uncontested divorce means you and your spouse are agreeing to the terms of the divorce. You both must agree to “All” the terms. For most divorces this mean deciding how the assets, and debts will be divided. Dividing cars, homes, bank accounts, pensions, and 401K plans. You may even need to discuss spousal support (aka alimony). If you have children have you will need to decide on a custody schedule, child support, and health insurance.
