Your question appears to request the time periods set out in Nevada law for a divorce.
Actually, the "six weeks" is the period for residency before you can file for divorce. You can find a detailed explanation in the "Divorce Jurisdiction Section of the article titled "The Basics of Family Law Jurisdiction," on the Published Works page of our firm web site, at http://www.willicklawgroup.com/published_works. You should also read the information posted at http://www.willicklawgroup.com/grounds_and_juri..., particularly the Jurisdiction and Venue Chapter of the Nevada Family Law Practice Manual, which is posted there, which will answer all your questions about time limits, etc.
There is a provision in the divorce law of every state as to how to proceed without the cooperation of the other party, usually by seeking a "default judgment." Nevada has such laws; they are explained, and linked, on our Divorce page, at http://www.willicklawgroup.com/divorce.
You should probably seek consultation with an appropriate family law specialist. I would suggest starting your search with the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, the Nevada chapter of which can be viewed at http://www.aaml.org/go/fellows/fellows-by-state....
Good luck.
