Nevada is a community property state. Under NRS 125.150, courts generally divide community property equally to the extent practicable, although a court may order an unequal division when it finds a compelling reason and explains that reason in writing. The difficult part in many divorces is determining what belongs to the community, what remains separate property, and how complex assets should be valued.
Property division may involve real estate, investment accounts, retirement benefits, business interests, professional practices, stock compensation, valuable personal property, debts, and assets acquired before or during the marriage. Separate-property tracing and commingled funds can make characterization especially important.
Ford & Flaxman helps clients identify, characterize, value, and divide marital assets and liabilities. More complex matters may involve financial records, forensic accounting, business valuation, or tracing of separate-property contributions. For substantial or complicated estates, see our High Net Worth Divorce practice page.
If you’re considering divorce or have already been served papers, now is the time to speak with a qualified Las Vegas divorce attorney. The earlier you act, the more options you’ll have to protect yourself, your children, and your financial future.
Call Ford & Flaxman, PLLC today to schedule a confidential consultation. We’ll sit down with you, listen to your story, and create a plan that puts you back in control.
Timing depends on jurisdiction, service, agreement on the issues, required disclosures, and the court’s schedule. An agreed case and a contested case can involve different steps. Ask counsel about the issues in your matter rather than rely on a guaranteed completion date.
A court decree is required to dissolve a marriage, but not every divorce requires a contested hearing or trial. Some agreed cases can proceed through submitted documents. The procedure depends on the case and court requirements; negotiation alone does not finalize the divorce.
Identify community and separate interests, values, debts, and relevant agreements. NRS 125.150 generally calls for equal disposition of community property to the extent practicable, with a compelling reason and written findings for unequal disposition. That does not necessarily mean dividing each asset physically in half.
Consider the attorney’s relevant experience, communication, availability, proposed scope of work, and fees. Review the biographies of Danielle J. Ford and Michael C. Flaxman, and ask how their experience relates to your particular custody or financial concerns.
Bring served papers, existing orders, any marital agreement, an outline of parenting arrangements, and an initial inventory of assets, debts, and income. Mention deadlines immediately. Obtain secure document-sharing instructions before sending sensitive records.
Yes. State that preference when contacting the firm and ask about availability, conflicts, and the proposed engagement. Read about working with Danielle as a female divorce attorney in Las Vegas. A consultation request does not itself establish representation.
