Sort of true and sort of not true. In a the divorce documents (called a Joint Petition of Divorce because you agree) you would state what the amount of child support would be. But you can then state you both agree to waive or change this amount.

Social security is not considered property so it would not be divided as part of the community assets. It is considered income and could be divided under alimony laws.

One way is to contact the clerk of court in the county where you live and ask for a copy of your divorce file. The clerk of court will be able to tell you if your husband has filed for divorce and, if so, when he filed.
He left while I was at work and never told me he was leaving me and he had also left me for another woman what Can I do

Since NV is a common law state am I entitled to part of the house/equity? Even if a quick claim deed was signed?

Having more than one husband or wife at the same time is considered Bigamy and is outlawed in most states, including Nevada.
Therefore the second marriage will automatically be void and have no legal significance.
