What are the grounds for divorce in Nevada?

Grounds are legally acceptable reasons for divorce. You can get a divorce in Nevada if:

  • you and your spouse live separate and apart for one year without cohabitation;
  • you and your spouse are incompatible (can’t get along); or
  • your spouse experiences insanity for two years before filing for divorce if there is supporting evidence of your spouse’s insanity (Note: If you are divorced due to your spouse’s insanity, the judge can still find that you may need to support your spouse through alimony.)1
