Legal advice on Divorce in Nevada

I filed for an annulment in Clark County. There are no children involved nor any assets. I paid all fees, filed my Affidavit of Service (accepted) The Defendant did not respond. I then filed Request for Summary Disposition of Decree (accepted) . I hope that was correct form to file. Are there any other forms that I need to file or do I just need to wait?

Do I need a court order to travel internationally with my son?

My divorce was finalized 01/27/2023 in Illinois. I was by default awarded sole legal and physical custody as my ex husband did not appear in court by choice. My son and I moved to Las Vegas in February and since then my ex has started seeing our child. I’m an immigrant and wanted to take my child overseas to meet my family. Would I need a court order or some kind of legal document when travelling internationally with my child? My son is a US citizen and I’m a green card holder.

Am I legally bound to go back to my maiden name if I listed that I wanted to in the divorce decree?

I have had my spouses last name throughout marriage and thought I wanted to return to my maiden name during the time of the divorce and listed the maiden name in the decree that was filed and signed by a judge. Am I now legally bound to return to that maiden name or can I continue with my ex-spouses last name instead?

Should I go through any legal process if me and my wife are getting separated?

Our marriage is not working out and my wife is constantly asking me to leave our current place. We have a child and I want to claim full or at least 50/50 custody if we ever end up in divorce which is very likely. I was thinking of moving out but I don't want to fight with her about getting the child with me right now. I was wondering if me moving out now could affect my custody rights later. How can I move out now and start a divorce process without losing any custody rights with my child? I am a male.

What address to put for my foreign spouse on divorce documents?

The court documents require an address and phone number for both of us but my wife already moved out from America, but she did sign the divorce papers already with notary in her country..... should I put the address and phone number in her foreign country? or can I put my address for both of us or will that make the judge suspicious and require a courtroom hearing? Thank you for any guidance.

Finance and Assets settlement in Uncontested Divorce in Nevada

My wife and I are about to get divorced, I'm moving to Nevada and she is in Oklahoma. She is stay at home mom(Kids from previous marriage, we don't have any of our own) and I make good money. We would like to apply for Uncontested Divorce as we have good understanding and we can settle our Financials/assets between us. Questions: 1. Even though our divorce is uncontested and we can settle our finances between us, does Nevada laws still split finances/assets 50-50 after divorce? 2. Is there anything we can do to let know that we don't want finances/assets to be split and we can take care of it among ourselves? We don't have any prenuptial or post agreements in place. Thank you so much for your time.

Can I get a divorce without serving my husband?

We have lived apart for at least 5 years and the house we had together recently went into foreclosure, he wanted to do a quick sale and have me sign a spouse deed (when i looked it up it said that i was agreeing that he is the sole owner of the house) So I did not sign and now he keeps sending me threatening messages and talking bad about me to my kids. Since he lived in the house that was sold in foreclosure I do not know where he lives and he told my son he is homeless. So Can i just file the paperwork to push a divorce through without him

While my husband of 5 years was incarcerated I had an affair.

We tried working things out but we are separated now. He is very bitter and won't even let me see our 3 year old son and has locked me out of our marital home. My question was what assets and I entitled to in a divorce in the state of Nevada. Does it matter that I had an affair ?
