Nevada Rates 6th Best State to Divorce In, According to Bloomberg
Is it better to divorce in some states over others? Yes, according to researchers at Bloomberg who recently published a list of the best (and worst) states to divorce in within the U.S. This list was compiled by analyzing a combination of state laws, divorce costs, case duration and waiting times (among other factors) – and it listed Nevada as the sixth best state to divorce in.
This is due to:
- Nevada’s no-fault divorce laws
- Nevada being the third-fastest state in terms of processing divorce cases
- Nevada divorce filing fees being minimal (when compared to the costs charged in other states).
