Nevada Joint Petition for Divorce With Children β€” Do You Need a Notary in Las Vegas?

Yes. Nevada Joint Petition for Divorce (With Children) requires notarization of both spouses' signatures before filing with the Clark County Family Court. This uncontested divorce form includes custody arrangements, child support agreements, and parenting plans for couples with minor children who mutually agree on all divorce terms.

Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides neutral, professional notarization for both spouses throughout Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, North Las Vegas, and all of Clark County. $65 total when both spouses sign together at one location. $65 per location if signing separately (two appointments = $130 total).

We can notarize both spouses together at one location OR at separate locations for privacy. Clark County requires both parents to complete a court-approved parenting class before the final decree. Same-day appointments available throughout the Las Vegas Valley.

πŸ“‹ What is the Nevada Joint Petition for Divorce (With Children)?

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.

Key Requirements for Joint Petition With Children

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.

βœ“ What Must Be Included in Your Petition

  • Legal and Physical Custody Agreement: Who makes major decisions about the children, where children will primarily reside
  • Parenting Time Schedule: Detailed schedule for regular parenting time, weekends, holidays, school breaks, and summer vacation
  • Child Support Calculation: Based on Nevada's statutory guidelines considering both parents' incomes and number of children
  • Health Insurance: Which parent provides health insurance for children and how uninsured medical costs are divided
  • UCCJEA Declaration: Confirmation that no other custody cases exist in any other state and Nevada has jurisdiction
  • Property and Debt Division: How marital assets and debts will be divided between spouses

⚠️ Clark County Mandatory Parenting Class

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.

βœ“ This Form is ONLY For:

  • Couples who agree on ALL terms of divorce, custody, support, and property division

βœ… Step-by-Step: Joint Petition Notarization Process

1. Complete the Joint Petition Together

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.

2. Calculate Child Support Using Nevada Guidelines

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.

3. Gather Valid Photo ID for Both Spouses

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.

4. Decide: Sign Together or Separately?

Determine whether both spouses will sign together at one location (most cost-effective at $65 total) OR at separate locations for privacy and reduced potential conflict ($65 per location = $130 total for two appointments). We serve both spouses impartially with no conflict of interest. Indicate your preference when booking your appointment(s).

5. Schedule Mobile Notary Appointment(s)

Contact Lake Mead Mobile Notary at (702) 748-7444 or book online to schedule same-day service. We come to your home, mediator's office, attorney's office, or any neutral location throughout Paradise, Spring Valley, Sunrise Manor, and all Clark County areas. If signing separately, schedule two appointments at different locations and times.

6. Sign in the Notary's Presence

Our licensed Nevada notary will meet you at your chosen location(s). Each spouse signs their designated sections on all signature pages of the joint petition while the notary witnesses. The petition includes multiple pages requiring notarization. The notary verifies both identities using government-issued photo IDs, confirms voluntary signing with no coercion, and ensures both parties understand what they're signing.

7. Notary Completes All Acknowledgment Certificates

The notary completes Nevada-compliant acknowledgment certificates for each spouse's signatures on all required pages, records transaction details in the notary journal as required by Nevada law, and applies the official Nevada notary seal to all notarized pages. You receive your fully notarized joint petition immediately upon completion.

8. File With Clark County Family Court

Take the notarized joint petition to the Eighth Judicial District Court Family Division (601 N. Pecos Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89101) or your county's family court clerk. Pay required filing fees (approximately $300-350), obtain case number and hearing date. Both parents must complete mandatory parenting class and submit completion certificates before the final decree hearing. Final divorce decree is typically issued within 2-4 weeks after the hearing if all requirements are met.

πŸ“ Where to File Your Notarized Joint Petition

After notarization, file the joint petition with the appropriate Nevada family court:

  • Clark County (Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City): Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Division, 601 N. Pecos Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89101 | (702) 455-1520

❓ Common Questions About Joint Petition Notarization

Do both spouses need to be present for notarization?

Yes, each spouse must personally appear before the notary when signing. You cannot sign for your spouse or have someone sign on your behalf. However, both spouses do not need to sign at the same time or location. We can notarize Spouse A at their home, then travel to notarize Spouse B at their separate location. This separate signing option costs $65 per location ($130 total for two appointments).

Can we sign the petition before the notary arrives?

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.

How long does the notarization appointment take?

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.

What is the mandatory parenting class requirement?

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.

What happens after we file the notarized petition?

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.

Can we modify custody arrangements after the divorce?

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.

What if we don't agree on all terms?

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.

Do we need lawyers for a joint petition divorce?

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 adviceβ€”we only witness signatures and complete notarizations.
