Nevada Family Court Forms and Filing Resources

FamilyCourtHelp is an independent educational platform. It is not a court, law firm, government agency, or government partner. We organize and link to publicly available resources published by courts and government agencies. Official requirements may change. Always confirm current requirements with the applicable court or clerk.

Nevada publishes its own official family law forms, filing instructions, and self-help materials, but they are spread across several government sites. This page organizes the official Nevada sources in one place so you can go straight to the right court page for forms, e-filing, rules, and locations.

Nevada's core family statutes live in the Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 125 - Dissolution of Marriage. Nevada is moving fully to the new eFileNV portal by July 15, 2026. Ask your court clerk which system applies to you.

How the Nevada court system handles family cases

Family cases in Nevada are heard in the District Court, usually in the Family Division. Nevada's District Court has a Family Division in its larger counties (Clark, Washoe).

Nevada's counties are grouped into judicial districts.

Appeals from a family case generally go first to the Nevada Court of Appeals, and the state's highest court is the Nevada Supreme Court. Created in 2014; the Supreme Court routes some appeals to it.

Besides the judge, a Magistrate / Commissioner may handle parts of a family case. Besides the judge, a magistrate, commissioner, or referee may hear temporary orders, child support, and uncontested matters - usually subject to a judge's review.
