Divorcing someone who has more money in Las Vegas.


My husband makes good money and I cannot be married anymore.  Divorce is inevitable.  I don't think I can afford a divorce attorney.  What can I do?

The best advice is to consult with a Las Vegas family law attorney to determine how you will survive when there is an unequal financial power between you and your spouse.  There are several remedies available under the Nevada Revised Statutes and Nevada Supreme Court Decisions.  It is important to consult with a lawyer well before you actually file for divorce so that you can plan.  

You should consider how you will live separately and independently from your spouse and how you will be able to have equal access to community resources so that you can afford a family lawyer.  You must know that this planning is critical because you cannot count on the court helping you with temporary support or alimony.  A divorce lawyer helping you before the court battle can protect your rights.  

Call for a cheap consultation on how to proceed when you ask yourself, Do I need a Las Vegas divorce lawyer?  Family law is complicated.  There are hundreds of Nevada Supreme Court decisions that may come into play and thousands of decisions around the United States.  There are also numerous Nevada Revised Statutes and Rules of Procedure that must be adhered to.  The best advice is to get a divorce attorney in Las Vegas as soon as possible.

You should never use a computer and phone that your spouse has access to while researching legal information regarding divorce online.  Your spouse cannot legally spy on you, but it happens and you may not know it.
