Asset Division in Nevada - Frequently Asked Questions
Does Nevada use community property or equitable distribution?
Nevada is a community property state. Most assets and debts acquired during the marriage are presumed to be owned 50/50. Property owned before the marriage, gifts, and inheritances are usually separate property.
What counts as marital property in Nevada?
Marital property in Nevada generally includes assets and debts accumulated during the marriage, regardless of whose name is on the title. Pre-marital property, inheritances, and gifts to one spouse are typically separate property. Commingling separate and marital funds (for example, depositing an inheritance into a joint account) can convert separate property into marital property.
How is the marital home divided in Nevada?
Couples in Nevada typically choose one of three paths: sell the home and split the equity, one spouse buys out the other's share by refinancing, or one spouse keeps the home (often the primary caregiver if children are involved) with an offsetting share of other assets.
How are retirement accounts divided in Nevada?
401(k), 403(b), and pension benefits earned during the marriage are marital property in Nevada. Dividing them typically requires a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), which costs $500 to $1,500 to prepare. IRAs do not require a QDRO, but the division still must be ordered by the court and processed as a transfer incident to divorce.
Can hidden assets affect my divorce in Nevada?
Yes. Both spouses in Nevada have a legal duty to disclose all assets and debts. Concealing assets can result in the court awarding the hidden asset entirely to the other spouse, plus sanctions or attorney fees. If you suspect hidden assets, a forensic accountant is usually warranted.
