A contested divorce is the most common way a divorce case starts in Nevada. The term means that the two divorcing spouses cannot agree on all divorce issues on their own. Many contested divorces in Las Vegas resolve through settlement conferences, court hearings, and the negotiations between the divorce attorneys representing the parties. Only a small fraction of cases go to trial. An uncontested divorce is where both spouses have come to an agreement on their own without court intervention. It’s important to know that these uncontested divorce agreements must comply with Nevada law.
