HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO BE A NEVADA RESIDENT TO FILE FOR DIVORCE?
One must be a Nevada resident for 6 weeks in order to file a complaint for divorce. This is one of the shortest residency requirements in the United States. Residency is proved with an Affidavit of Resident Witness, who states that he has known the Plaintiff for over six weeks, has seen them on a regular basis several times a week, knows them to be a bona fide resident of the State of Nevada, and that the Plaintiff intends on being a resident for the foreseeable future. Whether one is a resident or not is a question of fact and once established by the trial court will not be set aside by an appellate court unless it is not supported by the evidence.
