Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

Divorce in Nevada

My question presumes 2 people get legally married in the State of Nevada, and then subsequently reside in California.

Assuming that they then subsequently decide to divorce, is this divorce subject to Nevada law or California law? If it is subject to Nevada law, then what are the general guidelines concerning the distribution of assets? Is Nevada (like California, for example) a community property state where everything must be split 50-50 in the event of divorce, or do they use a different method to decide those things?

Thank you.

It is not where you marry. . . it is where you reside that determines the law which applies.
