The Nevada Petition for Court Authorization for Marriage of Minor is a legal document filed with a court in the state of Nevada to obtain permission for a minor to enter into a marriage. There are two types of Nevada Petition for Court Authorization for Marriage of Minor: the Voluntary Petition for Court Authorization for Marriage of a Minor and the Coerced Petition for Court Authorization for Marriage of a Minor. The Voluntary Petition for Court Authorization for Marriage of a Minor is used when both parties are of legal age and voluntarily wish to enter into the marriage. The petition must include the names of both parties, proof of age, proof of parental consent and a statement of understanding that the marriage is legally binding and valid in Nevada. The Coerced Petition for Court Authorization for Marriage of a Minor is used when one of the parties is of an age that renders them legally incapable of consenting to the marriage. This petition must include the name of the minor, proof of age, proof of parental consent, a statement from the petitioner that they do not consent to the marriage and a statement from the court regarding the potential consequences of entering into the marriage. In both cases, the court may require additional information, such as proof of residency and/or proof of a criminal background check. The court will ultimately determine if the marriage is legally binding and valid in Nevada.
