More often than I enjoy, my job requires me to delve into the depths of Nevada Revised Statute for original sources on law. This plunge into the murky depths usually leaves me feeling like my brains are about to ooze out my ears. However, today I found something interesting. So this is the nitty-gritty
NRS 123.090 Necessaries provided wife when husband neglects to provide; recovery of value.
If the husband neglects to make adequate provision for the support of his wife, any other person may in good faith supply her with articles necessary for her support, and recover the reasonable value thereof from the husband. The separate property of the husband is liable for the cost of such necessities if the community property of the spouses is not sufficient to satisfy such debt.
NRS 123.110 When wife must support husband.
The wife must support the husband out of her separate property when he has no separate property and they have no community property and he, from infirmity, is not able or competent to support himself.
NRS 123.121 Segregation of damage awards when spouses sue jointly.
When a husband and wife sue jointly, any damages awarded shall be segregated as follows:
1. If the action is for personal injuries, damages assessed for:
(a) Personal injuries and pain and suffering, to the injured spouse as his separate property.
(b) Loss of comfort and society, to the spouse who suffers such loss.
(c) Loss of services and hospital and medical expenses, to the spouses as community property.
