Insterstate Divorce Needed

Some parts of your narrative do not seem quite right.  For example, it makes no difference whether he wants a divorce; the choice is entirely up to either party, and if you want to divorce, the court will grant it as a matter of right, as explained in the link here. You are entitled to your half of the property (or its value).  If he wants to keep the house, he will be required, ultimately, to refinance so as to buy you out, and if he refuses to do so, the court should ultimately require its sale.  See the information posted here. You mention two lawyers -- all of the above information should have already been explained to you.  If you still have not received adequate information and advice, first review the other substantive pages on the web site linked above, as to preliminary motions, and as to spousal support and alimony, especially.  Then consider a further consultation with this office, or some other family law specialist in Nevada -- it can be done by phone or skype if you do not plan to return here at any time from Illinois.  Either way, get solid information, soon, and then make a plan for moving forward with your life
