Grounds for Divorce in Nevada
Nevada allows no-fault divorce and a few limited alternative grounds.
No-Fault Ground
You can obtain a divorce based on incompatibility without proving misconduct. Nevada also recognizes living separate and apart for one year as a basis even without alleging incompatibility.
Other Grounds
Nevada permits dissolution if a spouse has been insane for two years before filing, proved to the court’s satisfaction. These alternatives are less common than incompatibility.

FAQs
Do I need to prove fault in Nevada?
No. Incompatibility is sufficient for divorce.
Are there other grounds besides incompatibility?
Yes. One year living apart, or insanity for two years, can support a divorce.
Does choosing a different ground change property division?
Usually no. Nevada’s community property rules and equitable considerations guide division regardless of ground.
