Ok, that one I absolutely can believe. However, then why wouldn't she work full time as a nurse instead of working two part time jobs? Nursing is one field where there is plenty of work available..

Depends on the situation. In my city, they're laying off nurses for the first time in ages. Some nurses are actually finding it hard to get jobs.

The ones who do find jobs often choose to work part time because the pay can be (not always, but can be) better.

Well she has two jobs without going in to it, and a bachlors degree...I had a cosultation with a lawyer though, I think it will go fine. Unfortunatly lost the other money I spent getting the divorce papers in Nevada. it should be quick , we have no assets. To anwser the other question. Since I do live in Nevada. and I wanted a divorce and she did not , I had to make the first move in the state I was in. Live an learn!

Nevada did NOT have jurisdiction however.

Technically, Nevada has jurisdiction over him, but not her. So he could get the divorce, but couldn't settle any of the property division and/or support issues.

I am not sure that is the case here....he never got her served and its appears that he doesn't REALLY live in NV, only that he established an address there.

Hey I do, I commute. Is that such a strange thing to do ? I wish not to commute, waiting for a transfer but nothing yet. So any way this might not turn out too bad. What was that you said about still getting the divoce in Nevada? How? Anyway I guess The servers are still trying to serve her I need to close this case in Nevada right? I have to ask my lawyer too.

I'm assuming that he really does live in NV.

If that were the case, NV could have had jurisdiction, but it's a moot point now that he's been served in CA. Once the CA process is underway, it's too late to serve her with NV papers. And, as I pointed out, even if he had been able to get her served first, NV wouldn't have had any jurisdiction over her or the property in CA, anyway.

If it's true that she makes much more money than him, he may be better off with the case in CA, anyway since it's possible to get alimony even in short term marriages in CA and he may be the one receiving it.

: I work in California and commute to Nv. I have had a witness sighn the divorce papers ect. saying I lived in this area for 6 weeks and more.

It's NOT where you work, it's where you claim residency for tax purposes etc that makes jurisdiction. My husband commuted to IL for some time, but he was never a resident of IL.

OP's original statement was " I work in California and commute to Nv."

Since he specifies that he works in CA, he's clearly commuting to his home in NV.

Granted, that terminology is different than most people use, but he appears to be a NV resident.

 

[Ohiogal]

But he stated he lived there for six weeks. Does it really ONLY take six weeks for Nevada to have jurisdiction? Seriously?

ETA: Apparently six weeks is all it takes.

DIVORCE

1. Divorce from the bonds of matrimony may be obtained for the causes provided in NRS 125.010, by verified complaint to the district court of any county:

(a) In which the cause therefor accrued;

(b) In which the defendant resides or may be found;

(c) In which the plaintiff resides;

(d) In which the parties last cohabited; or

(e) If plaintiff resided 6 weeks in the State before suit was brought.

2. Unless the cause of action accrued within the county while the plaintiff and defendant were actually domiciled therein, no court has jurisdiction to grant a divorce unless either the plaintiff or defendant has been resident of the State for a period of not less than 6 weeks preceding the commencement of the action.

Yep, NV has alway been 6 weeks. Remember all those old movies about women moving to NV for 6 weeks so that they could get a divorce from their husbands? Its never changed.
