Navigating Divorce and Property Division in Clark County
When a marriage ends, property must be divided and, in many instances,
it is done through a
divorce. Who gets the house? Who gets the antique furniture? What about family
heirlooms? All of these questions will need to be answered during the
divorce property division process. The possibilities for property distribution
are countless and if you or someone you know is considering a divorce
or legal separation, you should speak with a qualified attorney on how
best to protect your own assets during the property division phase of
the divorce.

Is Nevada a Community Property State?
A community property state is a state in which property is divided equally
among both parties in a divorce by the judge handling the divorce. Nevada
is one of eleven states in the U.S. that utilize community property laws.
In Nevada, any property or income acquired during the course of the marriage
is considered to be community property and is equally owned by both parties
in the marriage. There are a few exceptions to this rule including:
- Something given as a gift to one individual
- An inheritance given to one individual
- Property that was distributed prior to the marriage via prenuptial agreement
- Separate property (property that was owned by one party prior to the marriage)
The community property law also applies to debts, meaning that debts acquired during the course of the marriage are shared equally by both parties. When determining how to divide up the community property in a divorce, a Nevada judge will not take fault into consideration.
