Legal Separation Lawyers in Las Vegas, NV
Some couples who are having relationship problems find themselves unable or unwilling to proceed with a divorce. For these spouses, legal separation is a viable divorce alternative. It works as a precursor to divorce or a way to gain distance from one another; this may allow spouses to work towards reconciliation, to work out an eventual divorce plan, or may be needed for religious, financial, or other reasons.
Legal separation in Nevada entails remaining married while physically living separate and apart. Agreements such as marital property division, child support, and child custody may be affected by legal separation, depending on your circumstances.
Whether you have questions about legal separation or consider this route as an alternative to divorce, the attorneys at Naimi Mullins Law Group can walk you through the process, explain your options, and help you take steps to live a healthier, happier future. We provide sound counsel and advice while protecting your children, assets, and property.

The Legal Separation Process in Nevada
The legal separation process in Nevada is similar to that of a divorce. One spouse must file a formal request with the court, known as a complaint for legal separation. The petition outlines the desired terms regarding spousal support, asset division, child custody, and other relevant matters.
The other spouse has the opportunity to file an answer, or the couple can reach an agreement outside of court on separation terms. If both parties agree, they can submit a separation agreement for court approval. If not, the court will decide on the unresolved issues.
Like divorce proceedings, Naimi Mullins Law Group can negotiate and mediate to settle separation terms amicably or represent your best interests in court.
We are experienced in handling legal separation matters, such as:
- Modification of agreements, including child support and care, spousal support (if applicable), and other agreements related to your legal separation
- Paperwork and legal documentation that you need for your legal separation to be a factor in your future

- Legal separation support through family law counsel and representation
