What is the Nevada Joint Petition for Divorce (With Children)?

The Nevada Joint Petition for Divorce (With Children) is an uncontested divorce form approved by the Nevada Supreme Court for married couples with minor children (under age 18) who mutually agree to dissolve their marriage and have resolved all custody, child support, visitation, and property division matters. Both spouses sign a single petition together, significantly streamlining the divorce process compared to contested cases.

This petition requires detailed written agreements covering child custody (both legal and physical), parenting time schedules, child support calculations based on Nevada guidelines, health insurance responsibility for children, decision-making authority for education and medical care, holiday and vacation schedules, and property/debt division. The form also includes mandatory UCCJEA declarations confirming no other custody cases exist in other states.

Key Requirements for Joint Petition With Children

Both spouses must sign the joint petition in the presence of a Nevada notary public before filing with the Eighth Judicial District Court (Family Division) in Clark County or your county's district court. The petition cannot be filed without proper notarization of all signature pages.

What must be included in your petition

  • Legal and physical custody agreement: Who makes major decisions about the children and where the children will primarily reside.
  • Parenting time schedule: Detailed schedule for regular parenting time, weekends, holidays, school breaks, and summer vacation.
  • Child support calculation: Based on Nevada's statutory guidelines considering both parents' incomes and number of children.
  • Health insurance: Which parent provides health insurance for children and how uninsured medical costs are divided.
  • UCCJEA declaration: Confirmation that no other custody cases exist in any other state and that Nevada has jurisdiction.
  • Property and debt division: How marital assets and debts will be divided between spouses.

Clark County mandatory parenting class

Both parents must complete a court-approved parenting class (typically 2–4 hours) before the final divorce decree can be issued. The class covers co-parenting strategies, child development during divorce, conflict resolution, and communication skills.

You can complete the parenting class after filing the petition but must submit completion certificates to the court before your final hearing. Cost is approximately $50–75 per parent. The court provides a list of approved providers.

This form is only for:

  • Couples who agree on all terms of divorce, custody, support, and property division.
  • Marriages with minor children under age 18.
  • Cases where at least one spouse has been a Nevada resident for 6+ weeks.
  • Uncontested divorces where both parties voluntarily consent.

Not for contested divorces: If you and your spouse disagree on custody, support, or property division, you cannot use this form. You will need separate counsel and a contested divorce process.

Step-by-Step: Joint Petition Notarization Process

1
Complete the joint petition together

Both spouses work together to complete all sections of the joint petition form. Include custody arrangements (joint or primary legal custody, physical custody details), a detailed parenting time schedule with holidays and school breaks, child support calculations using Nevada statutory guidelines, health insurance responsibility, transportation arrangements, and property/debt division. Leave all signature sections blank until you meet with the notary.

2
Calculate child support using Nevada guidelines

Nevada law requires child support based on specific income percentages and number of children. Use the official Nevada Division of Welfare and Supportive Services child support calculator or consult with a family law attorney. Your agreement must meet or exceed state minimum support amounts.

3
Gather valid photo ID for both spouses

Each spouse needs valid, unexpired, government-issued photo identification for the notarization. Acceptable IDs include Nevada driver's license, out-of-state driver's license, U.S. passport, military ID card, or state identification card. The notary verifies identity and voluntary signing.

4
Decide: sign together or separately?

Choose whether both spouses will sign together at one location (most cost-effective at $70 total) or at separate locations for privacy and reduced potential conflict ($70 per location = $140 total). We serve both spouses impartially with no conflict of interest.

5
Schedule mobile notary appointment(s)

Contact Lake Mead Mobile Notary at (702) 748-7444 or book online to schedule same-day service. We come to your home, mediator's office, attorney's office, or any neutral location throughout Paradise, Spring Valley, Sunrise Manor, and all Clark County areas.

6
Sign in the notary's presence

Our licensed Nevada notary meets you at your chosen location(s). Each spouse signs their designated sections on all signature pages while the notary witnesses. The notary verifies identity, confirms there is no coercion, and ensures both parties understand what they are signing.

7
Notary completes acknowledgment certificates

The notary completes Nevada-compliant acknowledgment certificates for each spouse's signatures on all required pages, records details in the notary journal, and applies the official Nevada notary seal to every notarized page.

8
File with Clark County Family Court

File the notarized joint petition with the Eighth Judicial District Court Family Division (601 N. Pecos Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89101) or your local family court. Pay filing fees (approximately $300–350), obtain a case number, and receive your hearing date. Both parents must complete the parenting class and submit certificates before the final decree.

Where to file your notarized joint petition

After notarization, file the joint petition with the appropriate Nevada family court:

Common Questions About Joint Petition Notarization

Do both spouses need to be present for notarization?

Yes, each spouse must personally appear before the notary when signing. You cannot sign for your spouse or have someone sign on your behalf. However, spouses may sign at different times and locations; separate signings are $70 per location.

Can we sign the petition before the notary arrives?

No. Nevada law requires that each spouse sign in the physical presence of the notary. Pre-signed documents cannot be legally notarized and may be rejected by the court clerk.

How long does the notarization appointment take?

When both spouses sign together, notarization usually takes 20–30 minutes, plus travel time. Separate appointments are similar in length at each location.

What happens after we file the notarized petition?

After filing and paying fees, the court assigns a case number and schedules an uncontested hearing, typically 2–4 weeks out. Once parenting class certificates are filed and the judge approves your agreements, the divorce decree is entered.

Can we modify custody arrangements later?

Yes. Custody and support can be modified if there is a substantial change in circumstances affecting the child's best interests. Modified agreements must also be notarized before filing.
