| Schedule “A” | Is a general listing of your property and should include your savings/checking account numbers and location, as well as the amount of your insurance policies, name of insurance company, policy number and location.

| Schedule “C” | Is to list the percentage each beneficiary will receive of the trust estate. |

To help lessen the impact of the separation for any minor child(ren), the District Court requires separating parents to attend a co-parenting seminar, sometimes called the “COPE” Class.
The parents do not have to go to the class together, but both parents must take the class at some point before the court case is finished and file a certificate of completion with the court. Usually, the judge will not sign a final order until both parents have taken the class.
Classes are offered in English and Spanish. Parents can attend a 3 hour class in person, or can sign up for an online class that takes about 3-5 hours to finish. The class costs around $40-45/person. At the end of the class, parents will get a Certificate of Completion to file with the Court.
There are six Court approved class providers, listed bellow.Contact them to find out class schedules and to sign up.
GUARDIANSHIP. Before You Begin.
Who Cannot Be a Guardian
A person cannot be appointed a guardian if:
• The person is incompetent (for instance, the person cannot take care of himself).
• The person is a minor.
• The person has filed for bankruptcy within the last 7 years. The court may appoint a person who has filed for bankruptcy if the guardianship is over the person only (meaning no money will be handled), or if there are no other suitable candidates to serve as guardian. The court may order additional safeguards to protect the person’s money.
• The person has been convicted of a felony. The court may appoint a person convicted of a felony if the court determines that the conviction should not disqualify the person from serving as a guardian.
• The person has been suspended or disbarred from the practice of law, accounting, or any other profession that involves the management of money and requires a state license.
• The person has committed a crime of domestic violence, abuse, neglect, exploitation, isolation, or abandonment of a child, spouse, parent, or other adult. The court may appoint someone who has committed such a crime if the court finds it is in the best interest of the protected person to appoint that person the guardian.
For Non-Nevada Residents: There may be extra requirements for non-resident guardians to ensure the safety of the protected person. Of note, non-Nevada guardians must designate a “registered agent” in the State of Nevada to accept service of legal documents.
READY TO START?
1. Complete the appropriate worksheet as best as you can, then we can assist you further if needed.
• Guardianship for an Adult
• Guardianship for a Minor Child(ren)
2. Submit to NLF for preparation.
3. We will contact you upon completion of your documents for your review and approval.
4. We will schedule an appointment to sign all documents and go over any questions you may have.
5. We will then start filing your documents with Family Court and keep you informed as your case progresses through court.
DIVORCE. Before You Begin.
Nevada Residency
Nevada has a residency requirement in order for file for divorce. One of the parties must live in Nevada for at least 6 weeks prior to filing for divorce and intend to remain in the state indefinitely.
Grounds for Divorce
Husbands and wives who are divorcing usually are suffering enough without adding more fuel to the emotional fires by trying to prove who-did-what-to-whom. The laws of no-fault divorce recognize that human relationships are complex and that it is difficult to prove that a marriage broke down solely because of what one person did.
Nevada is a “no fault” state, meaning there doesn’t have to be any particular reason why a person wants a divorce other than the parties are incompatible in marriage.
READY TO START?
1. Choose the appropriate worksheet and complete.
Joint Petition for Divorce – when both parties agree on all terms of the divorce including:
• Division of community property and community debt
• Child Custody/Visitation/Support
• If there are children involved, you must complete the additional appropriate worksheet to determine child support. Please complete as best you can, then we can assist you further if needed.
• Worksheet A if the parties are requesting Primary Physical Custody of the child(ren).
• Worksheet B if the parties are requesting Joint Physical Custody of the child(ren).
Complaint for Divorce – when the parties do not agree on all terms of the divorce.
Divorce by Publication – when your spouse cannot be located.
2. Submit to NLF for preparation.
3. We will contact you upon completion of your documents for your review.
4. We will schedule an appointment to sign all documents and go over any questions you may have.
5. We will then start filing your documents with Family Court and keep you informed as your case processes through court.
CHILD CUSTODY, PATERNITY, CHILD SUPPORT. Before You Begin.
Jurisdiction
For a Nevada court to make any custody, visitation orders, Nevada must be considered the “home state” of the child(ren). This means the child(ren) must have lived in the State of Nevada for at least 6 months prior to filing for custody.
Child Custody
When parents are married, custody, visitation, child support, visitation provisions are handled within the proceedings of a divorce. When parents are not married to each other, these provisions are handled within a custody or paternity case.
READY TO START?
1. Complete the following as best as you can, then we can assist you further if needed.
• Child Custody Worksheet
• Worksheet A if a party is requesting Primary Physical Custody of the child(ren).
• Worksheet B if the parties are requesting Joint Physical Custody of the child(ren).
2. Submit to NLF for preparation.
3. We will contact you upon completion of your documents for your review and approval.
4. We will schedule an appointment to sign all documents and go over any questions you may have.
5. We will then start filing your documents with Family Court and keep you informed as your case progresses through court.
ANNULMENT. Before You Begin.
No Nevada Residency
Anyone who was married in Nevada can file for an annulment in Nevada; neither person has to be a Nevada resident (a Nevada resident can also file for an annulment here regardless of where the marriage took place).
Annulment
You can obtain an annulment in Nevada for any of the following grounds:
• Lack of Consent of Parent or Guardian
• Want of Understanding
• Fraud
• Spouses Are Closely Related
• One Person Was Already Married
You will be required to prove your grounds for annulment. Meaning, whoever is filing for the annulment will have the burden to prove why the court should grant the annulment.
READY TO START?
1. Complete the Annulment worksheet.

ADOPTION. Before You Begin.
Nevada Residency
One of the adults must live in Clark County, Nevada.
Adoption of a Child
If two people want to adopt a child, they must be married or registered domestic partners. In all stepparent adoptions, the consent of the other birth parent is required. If the other birth parent’s parental rights have been terminated, a consent is not required.
Our services involve the preparation of stepparent adoptions not non-relative adoptions.
Adoption of an Adult
An adult may adopt another adult as long as:
• The person adopting is older than the person being adopted; and
• If either of the adults is married, their spouses will have to sign a consent.
