Reno Essay--Three Historic Nevada Cities: Carson City, Reno and Virginia City--A National Register of Historic Places Travel Itinerary
The birth of the Reno divorce colony can be traced to its first celebrity divorce in 1906, when the wife of the President of U.S. Steel, William Corey, came to Reno to obtain a divorce from her philandering husband. The event was scandalous and widely publicized. The waiting period for a Nevada divorce was a generous six months, except for a two-year period, when the residency requirement was increased to one year. In 1927, during a period of competition among several states for the migratory divorce trade, the Nevada legislature shortened the residency period to three months. This act boosted the industry and divorce-seekers flocked to Reno. In 1931, Nevada was beginning to feel the effects of the Great Depression, and seeing an economic opportunity, the Nevada legislature revised its divorce law once again. This time, it shortened the residency requirement to six weeks, thereby opening the divorce floodgates. During the 10 years between 1929 and 1939, more than 30,000 divorces were g ... [Read More]

Reno, Nevada REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS ... MR. LACHMAN: Okay. We're ready. MS. DEL PAPA: For the record, I am Frankie Sue Del Papa. F-r-a-n-k-i-e; S-u-e; D-e-l P-a-p-a. I am the Attorney General for the State of Nevada. I'm also a native Nevadan. We have assembled, of course, a legal team within the Attorney General's Office. We are steadfastly committed to join the Governor and the Congressional Delegation and the many Nevadans that will make comments with reference to this issue. I firmly believe that without the benefit of final siting guidelines for a final Environmental Impact Statement as a foundation for its tentative decision, the Department of Energy is in effect depriving the public, not only in Nevada, but people across the country, of the opportunity to provide meaningful input into a decision which has potentially huge impacts, not only for the State of Nevada, but the nation as a whole. We will continue to monitor this issue. I will advise my colleagues with the National Association of Attorneys General of what ... [Read More]
