Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

Divorce

I was served with a notice that my wife filed for legal separation in California. I and my wife lived in Nevada but she left me 5 months ago and moved to California. I continue to reside in Nevada. Can I file for divorce in Nevada having received this notice from California?

Re: Divorce

I am representing a man in a similar situation. She filed for legal separation because Calif. has a six month residency for divorce. Usually, the petition is amended for divorce after six months.

If you have a house in Nevada, you might be able to convince the California judge to dismiss the case and go forward in Las Vegas. IF YOU NEVER LIVED IN CALIFORNIA AS HUSBAND AND WIFE, I CAN GET THE CALIFORNIA CASE DISMISSED. The case I have, the couple lived in California for about 10 years.
