if you live together for 5 years in Nevada, is it community property if you separate?
missplanetc asked:
We lived together for 5 years in Las Vegas, then got married on 12-31-06, and we’re now divorcing. Will we split things we bought with our joint account before marriage? We bought nothing together during our marriage since it was so short. Does he only take what he brought into our residence since I bought almost everything myself (he got rid of all his stuff before we moved together)? (Not real estate, just furniture, car, etc). Or since we’ve been married for a few weeks, can he take half of everything?

Why don’t you consult an attorney?

If you are married, Nevada is a community property state. If nothing was acquired during the marriage, than what was his before the legal marriage is his and visa versa.
