Anyone remember when the wife stayed in Reno for 6 weeks so she could file for divorce?

The husband was the bread-winner, so he stayed at home at his job. And maybe with his 'sweetie', who was one of the reasons for the divorce.

Nevada had the easiest divorce laws. Of course, only well-off couples could afford to do this.

The trip to/stay in Reno was a frequent plot element in movies and novels, especially mysteries.
