The forms you find here are just a beginning and might not have everything you need. Different courts have different rules, so it's important to ask the clerk of the court to make sure you're doing things the right way. You can find more help and forms at self-help centers and court websites in Nevada. There are also other helpful books and legal forms you can use. If you need more help, you can call, email, or chat with the Law Library.

Since January 2022, the Nevada Supreme Court Law Library has been awarded three grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) through the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), administered by the Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records (NSLAPR). The Nevada Supreme Court Law Library used 100% of grant funds to translate standardized divorce, custody, family law, name change, and guardianship self-help legal forms to ensure self-represented litigants of limited English proficiency (LEP) in Nevada have equal access to court services.
