Nevada is a no fault divorce states which means that any party can obtain a divorce without the showing of any fault. Accordingly, adultery, for the most part, does not affect any party’s ability to get a divorce. Adultery can affect a divorce in two ways:
When a spouse uses his or her earnings to maintain an adulterous relationship which the other spouse has no idea, that spouse who has the extra-marital relationship may be deemed by the Court to have committed marital waste of the community assets. Accordingly, the judge may allow an offset from that spouse’s community property distribution to compensate the other spouse for the marital waste of the community assets.
