Your first meeting with a divorce attorney is not an interview. Most people prepare for it like one.

They rehearse the story. What they should bring is the paperwork. In a Clark County divorce, the attorney’s first job is to see the whole picture fast: what you own, what you owe, what you and your spouse each earn, and who is living where. The more of that sits on the table in the first hour, the more of that hour goes to strategy instead of reconstruction.

Have ready, if you can:

Last two years of tax returns and recent pay stubs, yours and your spouse’s if you have access
Statements for the mortgage, bank accounts, retirement accounts, and credit cards
Any prenup, prior court order, or papers you have already been served
A one-page timeline: marriage date, separation date, and anything a judge would want to know about

Missing some of it is normal. Bring what you have and say what you don’t. What you should not do is wait until it is all organized, because the facts that matter most in a Nevada divorce (who moved out, who is paying what, where the kids sleep) keep settling in while you wait.

Your first custody hearing in Clark County is not a trial. Most people walk in expecting one.

The first hearing is usually short and procedural, sometimes only minutes, and most Family Division hearings are held by video or phone by default. The judge sets deadlines, refers parents to mediation, and can enter temporary custody or timeshare orders. Final custody in a contested case is decided later, at an evidentiary hearing or trial, which is in person and can run hours to days. Two things to know before you log on: do not bring your child unless the court orders it, and treat the temporary schedule seriously, because the routine it creates tends to become the status quo. Read what happens at a Nevada custody hearing and how long it takes (link in the comments), then call.

The sign most people miss: you stopped fighting.

Not because things got better. Because neither of you thinks it's worth the argument anymore. Conversation shrinks to logistics. You find reasons to stay late. Life alone starts to feel like relief instead of fear. None of these decide anything by themselves, but they are the pattern that shows up before most people say the word out loud. If you recognize more of them than you expected, read the twelve signs and what comes after them in Nevada (link in the comments). If you're past that point, call.

A Las Vegas divorce often starts months before anyone files.

Moving into the spare room. Opening a separate account. Letting your spouse handle the kids' schedule "for now." None of these feel like legal decisions. In Nevada they can still become the facts a court later hears about housing, money, and parenting time, and they are harder to unwind than to plan for. If this already sounds like your house, read how filing works in Clark County (link in the comments), then call before those arrangements settle in.

"The house is in my name, so it's mine." In a Nevada divorce, that is not how it works.

A home bought during the marriage is generally community property in Nevada, no matter whose name is on the title. The exceptions are real (a valid prenup, or clear proof it was separate property), but the deed alone does not settle it. And "someone has to move out" is not the only ending: one spouse can buy the other out, refinance to keep it, or, when there are kids, a judge can let one parent stay for now. If nobody can agree, the court can order a sale. Know the options before you assume the outcome. Read who gets the house in a Nevada divorce (link in the comments), then call.

Nevada child support is a formula, not a guess. Run the numbers.

Nevada sets child support with a percentage-of-income formula and an official schedule under NAC 425. Our calculator applies that schedule to the numbers you enter. It is an estimate of the base amount, not a court order; a judge can adjust the figure for the circumstances of the case. Use it to see the starting point (link in the comments), then call if the estimate changes how you want to plan.
