The Question:

“I’ve been a stay-at-home parent for over a decade while my spouse built a career making six figures. Now we’re divorcing, and I haven’t worked in years. I filed for divorce last month in Washoe County and heard I might be entitled to temporary spousal support while the case is pending. How does that work in Nevada? Do I have to prove hardship? And how long does it usually take to get a hearing?”
