Yesterday, my WH served me divorce papers from the state of Nevada.

I was trying to find an attorney here in New Jersey, but they all told me I had to find one in Nevada.

I will do that tomorrow. I had a friend look over the papers, guess what he wants me to pay for his court cost. Do you believe that?

I did some investigation, I found a Las Vegas address for my WH, its actually wireless phone store that rents out mailboxes. So maybe he is in Las Vegas. At least I don't have to worry about running ito him and the OW.

What a coward! He has an A, left me for the OW, moves to a state where he can get a quickie divorce and then expects me to pay the court cost.

Couldn't even call me to tell me what he was up to. Oh thats right I would commit suicide or do bodily harm to myself over the news. Fog alert!!

My in-laws are in shock. They did tell me they don't want me to spend to much money fighting this. But I do want to see what my rights are. I'm not going to pay for his court cost, he has to be out of his mind.

My WH and OW in Sin City..Perfect together <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Yes, long distance DV is even harder than long distance romance.

WW is involved with a Vegas guy too. Wish she would buy a one way ticket out there now.

The OW is not from Vegas, she is from Delaware. Her D became final a couple of weeks ago. Must being putting pressure on WH to get one.

Couldn't wait 18 months here in New Jersey? According to them if it is God's will they are suppose to be together, then what was the rush?

They ran away together to Sin City! Its where God willed them to be...

BTW: I have nothing against Las Vegas, I actually been there a few times with H and loved it. We were actually talking about renewing our vows there next year...I guess that's not going to happen.

Today is the day I will try to find a Nevada lawyer.

I had a friend call me last night and told me I should tell the lawyer I don't want the D finalize until all the assets are split up.

I learned if I don't do that he can come back after the divorce and claim he wants this and that and have me ligation for years costing me thousands.

I wouldn't think he would do that but right now the OW is controlling his mind.

I just hope this isn't going to be costly, but I have stand up for myself and protect everything I worked for.

No matter what happens, you must protect yourself, financially, emotionally, and spiritually.

Oh, and I feel just about the same about Vegas, for different reasons, but still related to two of my wife's affairs. Before, it was a fun place to see and do things, to meet up with old and new friends, to let go of our troubles. Now, it's that nasty, disgusting, center of evil where.....

As for you questions about Nevada residency, from the State of Nevada website...

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Would you like information on establishing residency of Nevada?
General law to establish residency in the State of Nevada is 6 weeks (required for a divorce) and to show residence you must take action to show physical presence in the State of Nevada.

Have a physical address; purchase a home, rent a house, rent an apartment.
Have a job.
Register to Vote.
Get a Nevada Driver’s License

These are only a few ways to show residence in the State of Nevada. The Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) are the laws established by the legislature for the State of Nevada, and there are many laws that cover establishing residency in our state. You can search the NRS’s at http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/ for more information if your question(s) have not been answered.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">And a link to some Nevada Divorce information...

Here is the web address for the eigth district court in NV that handles divorce cases.

Call them and ask them about jurisdiction.

The fact that your H has a mailing address here does not necessarily mean he has residence. He will need to prove residence with a lease, home ownership, employment, etc. File a counterclaime with the court contesting the jurisdiction if you are sure he is not living here.

You need to actually type it into your post so she can see what is is... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

I just talked to an attorney from Nevada, the first thing he wants to do it check on validity of his Nevada residence.

The lawyer was on his way to court, so he will call me back.

I will be asking for all assets to be split before I sign off on anything.

I can't believe this is happening. What happen to my WH. I know this is all the OW doing.

Thanks for information,

Now I just want to get it over with and move on. This whole situation has worn me out.

I wanted to save my marriage, but the person he has become is not the same man I fell in love with. It saddens me so.

Now, I just have to protect myself and my assets.

The first attorney I talked to charges 5000.00 for a retainer. A little high, but he gave me some good advice.

He also told my about the Nevada lawyer referral system, they only gave me a name of one lawyer and I can't talked to him til the 26th. I really want one sooner. I will keep checking.

Just an FYI as some people do not understand wha t a retainer is.

The money is still all yours. It is a credit against his services. The attorney charges against that until it is used up.
If he does not use it all, you get the difference back.
