The Nevada Joint Petition for Divorce (With Children) is an uncontested divorce form approved by the Nevada Supreme Court for married couples with minor children (under age 18) who mutually agree to dissolve their marriage and have resolved all custody, child support, visitation, and property division matters. Both spouses sign a single petition together, significantly streamlining the divorce process compared to contested cases.
This petition requires detailed written agreements covering child custody (both legal and physical), parenting time schedules, child support calculations based on Nevada guidelines, health insurance responsibility for children, decision-making authority for education and medical care, holiday and vacation schedules, and property/debt division. The form also includes mandatory UCCJEA declarations confirming no other custody cases exist in other states.

Both spouses must sign the joint petition in the presence of a Nevada notary public before filing with the Eighth Judicial District Court (Family Division) in Clark County or your county's district court. The petition cannot be filed without proper notarization of all signature pages.
Both parents must complete a court-approved parenting class (typically 2-4 hours) before the final divorce decree can be issued. The class covers co-parenting strategies, child development during divorce, conflict resolution, and communication skills.
You can complete the parenting class after filing the petition but must submit completion certificates to the court before your final hearing. Cost is approximately $50-75 per parent. The court provides a list of approved providers.
NOT for contested divorces: If you and your spouse disagree on custody, support, or property division, you cannot use this form. You will need separate counsel and a contested divorce process.

Both spouses work together to complete all sections of the joint petition form. Include complete custody arrangements (joint or primary legal custody, physical custody details), detailed parenting time schedule with holidays and school breaks, child support calculations using Nevada statutory guidelines, health insurance responsibility, transportation arrangements, and property/debt division. Leave all signature sections blank until you meet with the notary.
Nevada law requires child support based on specific income percentages and number of children. Use the official Nevada Division of Welfare and Supportive Services child support calculator or consult with a family law attorney. Your agreement must meet or exceed state minimum support amounts. The court will review and may reject agreements that fall below statutory minimums.
Each spouse needs valid, unexpired, government-issued photo identification for the notarization. Acceptable IDs include Nevada driver's license, out-of-state driver's license, U.S. passport, military ID card, or state identification card. The notary will verify both identities and confirm each person is signing voluntarily before witnessing signatures.

"The notary was incredibly professional and helped us finalize our joint petition with our children's custody arrangement. They came to our mediator's office and handled all the signature pages efficiently. Made a stressful process much smoother during an already difficult time. Highly recommend for uncontested divorce."
"We chose to sign separately to avoid potential conflict and keep things civil for our kids. Lake Mead Mobile Notary went to my ex-husband's house first, then came to mine an hour later. Very accommodating and completely respectful of our situation. Worth every penny for the convenience and professionalism."
"Same-day service was absolutely perfect for our timeline. We had completed our parenting class certificates and needed to file quickly to meet our court date. They came that evening and got everything notarized properly on all the signature pages. The family court clerk accepted everything without any issues."

This separate signing option costs $65 per location ($130 total for two appointments).
No. Nevada law requires that each spouse sign in the physical presence of the notary public. Pre-signed documents cannot be legally notarized. If signatures exist before the notarization appointment, the family court clerk will reject the filing. Always wait to sign until you're with the notary, who will witness each signature and complete the acknowledgment certificates.
If both spouses sign together at one location, the notarization process takes approximately 20-30 minutes. This includes verifying both identities with government-issued photo IDs, reviewing that all required sections are completed, witnessing signatures on multiple pages, completing notarial acknowledgment certificates for each page, and applying the official Nevada notary seal. Total appointment time including our travel is typically 45-60 minutes.
Clark County requires both parents to complete a court-approved parenting class before the final divorce decree can be issued. The class is typically 2-4 hours and costs approximately $50-75 per parent. Topics covered include co-parenting communication, child development during divorce transitions, conflict resolution strategies, and creating effective parenting plans. You complete the class after filing your petition but must submit both parents' completion certificates to the court before your final hearing. The court provides a list of approved class providers when you file.
After filing the notarized joint petition with the Eighth Judicial District Court Family Division and paying filing fees (approximately $300-350), the court assigns a case number and schedules an uncontested divorce hearing, typically 2-4 weeks out. Both parents must complete the mandatory parenting class and submit certificates before the hearing. At the hearing (usually brief for uncontested cases), the judge reviews your custody agreement, child support calculations, and property division. If everything meets Nevada legal requirements, the judge signs the final divorce decree, which becomes effective immediately. The entire uncontested divorce process typically takes 6-10 weeks from filing to final decree.
Yes. Child custody and support orders can be modified if circumstances change significantly. Either parent can file a motion to modify custody or support with the family court. Modifications require showing a substantial change in circumstances affecting the child's best interests. Any modified custody or support agreements will also require notarization before filing with the court.
You cannot use the Joint Petition for Divorce if you disagree on any major terms. The joint petition is exclusively for uncontested divorces where both spouses mutually agree on custody arrangements, child support amounts, parenting schedules, and property division. If you have disagreements on custody, support, or property division, you need a contested divorce with separate legal representation. Consider mediation to resolve disputes before attempting to file a joint petition.
Nevada law does not require attorneys for uncontested joint petition divorces. Many couples successfully complete the process using the Nevada Supreme Court's self-help forms and resources. However, consulting with a family law attorney is strongly recommended, especially for complex custody arrangements, significant property division, or child support calculations. An attorney can review your agreements to ensure they meet Nevada legal requirements and protect both parents' rights. Lake Mead Mobile Notary cannot provide legal adviceβwe only witness signatures and complete notarizations.
