Property Rights in Nevada

When you’re going through a divorce, you’re probably very concerned about your property and what you own. When a marriage dissolves, property may not be split down the middle between the two parties. There are many factors that go into that type of decision. Marital property is generally defined as any property and assets that have been accumulated during the marriage. Legally, that property can be divided in any way that you and your spouse or the court sees fit.

Property and assets that you acquired before the marriage are not usually deemed marital property except for several different exceptions.

If you have questions about whether you have a right to retain property or assets after your divorce, you need to speak with a Nevada property rights attorney. You do have legal rights and obligations regarding your property, and it is in your best interests to be fully informed.

There are several aspects that are considered when property division is undertaken. Some of these factors include:

  • Marriage duration
  • Contribution of both spouses to the marriage (including homemaker and childrearing contributions)
  • Contribution of one spouse to the other’s career or education
  • Intentional waste or dissipation of marital assets or property after filing for divorce or within two years prior to filing.
  • The best interests of any minor children
