Military Divorce
Although there is no legal statute called “military divorce” in Nevada, there are specific issues that must be taken into consideration. If you are a member of the U.S. military stationed in Nevada, or the dependent of a U.S. service member and will be filing for divorce in a Nevada court, it is important that your lawyer understands the complex issues involved.
