Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

Nevada does not have "legal separation" per se. We have "Separate Maintenance," the rules governing which are explained in detail at http://www.willicklawgroup.com/separate_maintenance.

I also believe that since your marriage is going through some turbulent times, you should have a post-nuptial agreement prepared. It would be something that protects you if you ever decide to go through a divorce. It can cover everything a divorce, such as child custody, alimony, property division and would not be effective unless a divorce was filed.
