I should emphasize the disclaimer at the bottom of this page, which
indicates that answers and comments on Google Answers are general
information, and not intended to substitute for informed professional
legal advice.  If you need such advice, you should contact a lawyer in
your state or in Nevada.  A Google Answers Researcher, as a layperson,
can only do general research on this topic, which you might then
discuss with a lawyer.

The information I have seen indicates that you do have to live in
Nevada for a particular number of weeks in order to get a divorce
there.  (It seems that there may be an exception if a county in Nevada
is your domicile and the reason for the divorce arose in that county
-- but I assume that you are not asking about that situation.)

Would this information be a sufficient answer?

First, do you mean Las Vegas, NV?

Second, there is more than one way to interpret your question.  Here
are three possibilities:
1) How long must you live there to file for divorce?
2) Once you file for divorce, how long does it take to get it
approved?
3) Once the divorce is approved, how soon does it go in effect?

Could you please clarify the intent of your question?

Thanks.

Dear 1952-ga;

Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting
question.

In most cases, in order to be eligible to file for divorce in Nevada,
either spouse must have been a resident of the State of Nevada for at
least six weeks before filing. The plaintiff must file the papers in
the county in which the defendant resides. If defendant lives outside
the State of Nevada then the plaintiff may file in any county he/she
designates in his/her complaint.

If you file a JOINT PETITION for divorce in the mainstream judicial
system and both parties agree to sign the decree, you can obtain a
divorce in a little as one week.

If you file a COMPLAINT FOR DIVORCE in the mainstream judicial system
and your estranged spouse ignores the summons, you can be granted a
divorce by default in as little as 21 days. (If you are filing a
Complaint for Divorce rather than Joint Petition, the person filing
must be the Nevada resident, unless Nevada is the last jurisdiction
where both of you lived together as husband and wife.)

If you obtain a SIMPLE DIVORCE through a Nevada Tribal Court there are
no residency requirements and you can obtain your divorce in a little
as 10 days.

I hope you find that that my research exceeds your expectations. If
you have any questions about my research please post a clarification
request prior to rating the answer. I welcome your rating and your
final comments and I look forward to working with you again in the
near future. Thank you for bringing your question to us.

Best regards;
Tutuzdad-ga
