A legal separation in Nevada must be by agreement. As such, a Court cannot grant a Decree of Legal Separation over the objection of one of the parties.

Legal separations are desirable for a number of reasons. They are often utilized when a spouse would lose valuable health or retirement benefits if the parties were divorced. Additionally, parties seek legal separations for religious reasons.

A court can modify orders of support, custody or maintenance in a Decree of Legal Separation just as it could in a divorce. A legal separation does not preclude one of the parties from filing for a divorce in a subsequent action, however, the property division contained in the Decree of Legal Separation cannot be modified absent an agreement. As such, the property division in a legal separation is a final, binding judgment.
