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]

The worker, after establishing a residence in Nevada, obtained a decree of divorce from his wife, the claimant. Subsequently, pursuant to an action by the wife, a New York court held the Nevada divorce decree invalid on the ground that the Nevada court lacked jurisdiction, and declared her to be the worker's wife. Thereafter she filed an application for wife's insurance benefits, at which time the worker was still domiciled in Nevada. Held , since, under section 216(h)(1)(A) of the Act, the law applied by Nevada courts is applicable in determining the status of claimant, the worker being domiciled in Nevada at the time claimant filed her application, and since it appeared that the Nevada divorce decree met all jurisdictional requirements and that the Nevada courts would hold the decree valid notwithstanding a contradictory judgment by a New York court, the claimant, accordingly, does not have the status of the wife of the worker within the meaning of the Social Security Act. ...

While in Nevada, Twain resided in Carson City with his brother Orion Clemens , who served as acting governor of the Nevada Territory. Nevada obtained statehood status in 1864 and construction on the State Capitol began in 1870. Carson City founder Abraham Curry was instrumental in bringing a branch of the U.S. Mint to Carson City.

: GN 00305.165 - Summary of State Laws on Divorce and Remarriage - 05/10/2001
Effective 3/1/79, there are no restrictions against remarriage following a divorce decree. A divorce decree is now final for all purposes when it is entered. This rule is subject to two exceptions: (1) If it has been contested in the divorce proceedings that the marriage is irretrievably broken (effective 3/1/79, this is the single ground for divorce), neither party may remarry before the time for appeal has expired. The appeal period is ninety days following entry of the decree. If the divorce proceeding is uncontested as to the grounds for divorce, either party may remarry before the time for appeal has expired. (2) If either party appeals the divorce decree on the ground that the other party is not entitled to a divorce, neither party may remarry pending disposition of the appeal. Unless there is evidence in file to the contrary, assume that neither of the exceptions applies and that both parties were free to marry before the expiration of the appeal period.
