4) When you cannot locate your spouse:
If you cannot locate your spouse, you may still obtain a divorce in Nevada through a default process. This involves either serving your spouse with a Divorce Complaint and Summons at their last known address or following a publication process.
The court's permission is required in both cases if your spouse lives out of state. If your spouse lives in Nevada, no special permission is required for us to serve him or her with the Complaint for Divorce and Summons.
If your spouse's last known address is in Nevada, but cannot be located, an order from the Court is necessary to publish the summons.
Once your spouse has been properly served either in person or by publication, a default may be entered 21 days after the date of service or last date of publication.
If the default is granted, your Decree of Divorce can be submitted with request for the judge to grant your divorce.e now to inquire about filing, or responding to, a Nevada divorce.
