Can anyone go to Las Vegas to get a divorce?

Answer 1

First, I AM NOT A LAWYER!! But I did do research on this when my son was going through his divorce. If I remember correctly...if the marriage was performed in Las Vegas, the divorce can be granted immediately. If not, the party filing must be a resident of Las Vegas for six weeks and must be able to provide proof of residence for at least six weeks. Again, I AM NOT A LAWYER!! I am going by memory and things may have changed. There are lots of good resources on Vegas divorce law on the web. Good luck.

Answer 2

In order to file for divorce in Nevada, a person must be a Nevada resident. Once upon a time, Nevada was the only state that had "no-fault" divorce, so people would go and live there for the time required to establish residency - 90 days. Now, however, since almost all states have the same thing, the divorce business in Nevada has dropped off considerably. Although this writer is not a resident of Nevada so can't say for sure, the time necessary to establish Residency has probably gone up, since state residency is now necessary for in-state rates at state universities.
