Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
Does legal seperation exist in nevada
Is there such thing as legal seperation in Nevada? If so, once a party files for divorce is that time period considered ''legal separation?'' I've checked in the NRS and was unable to find it. Where can I find this information.

Re: Does legal seperation exist in nevada
The Nevada Legislature has developed a great basic research
site covering all of the statutes and administrative regulations,
including references to Nevada Supreme Court decisions related
thereto, available at:
http://www.leg.state.nv.us
You may want to look into the chapters on Dissolution of Marriage
on this site. The provisions you are looking for are in the Section titled SEPARATE MAINTENANCE. In this regard, I invite your attention to NRS Chapter 125,
which is found at:
http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-125.html
You may want to look into the chapters on Custody and Visitation
on this site. In this regard, I invite your attention to NRS Chapter 125A
and NRS Chapter 125C, which are found at:
http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-125A.html
http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-125C.html
You may want to look into the chapters on Obligation of Support
on this site. In this regard, I invite your attention to NRS Chapter 125B, which is found at:
http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-125B.html
There may be other laws affecting your ability to resolve a divorce,
support or custody problem, which is necessarily beyond the scope
of this reply.
I charge $200.00 per hour for consultation, document review, case
analysis, advice, suggesting and recommending alternatives, legal drafting, telephone calls,
legal research and prosecuting or defending divorce, annulment, separate maintenance,
support and custody actions when a client hires me.
The Nevada State Bar provides this general information online
regarding lawyer fees:

If I do not hear back from you by Friday, September 21, 2001, I will assume
that you have answered your questions to your own satisfaction,
hired another lawyer, or decided against pursuing the matter.
I hope this is of assistance to you.
