Do I need a reason to file the divorce?

In Nevada, it is only necessary to show the court you and your spouse have irreconcilable differences.

Before any court, can hear a divorce case, they must have something called jurisdiction. Jurisdiction is the authority to consider and decide legal issues, or the subject matter of the case. In order for courts to have jurisdiction over a divorce case, one of the spouses must have “resided,” or lived, in that state for at least 6 weeks before filing the divorce. In Las Vegas, residency is based on “physical presence,” which means the place where a person is physically located. Las Vegas does not look at owning a home or being licensed to vote in Las Vegas as residency. You must be physically located in Las Vegas. For a court to have jurisdiction over custody issues the children must have resided in that state for 6 months. This is true for all states.
