Nevada Ex Parte Emergency Motion Regarding Children is a legal filing that can be used to address urgent matters involving the safety or well-being of a child. It can be submitted to a court in order to obtain an immediate ruling without providing notice to the other party. The motion can be used to address issues such as child custody, guardianship, visitation, temporary support, and protection order requests. There are two types of Nevada Ex Parte Emergency Motion Regarding Children: 1) an ex parte temporary restraining order (TO); and 2) an ex parte temporary protective order (TPO). The ex parte TO is used to protect a child from immediate danger or harm. It can be granted to prevent a parent or guardian from doing something that may harm the child, or to prevent a third party from having contact with the child. The ex parte TPO is used to protect a child from future harm and is often used in cases involving domestic violence. It may include provisions such as restraining the violent parent from contact with the child, or ordering the parent to participate in domestic violence counseling or drug and alcohol treatment. Both types of ex parte motions must include an affidavit and other supporting documents to demonstrate to the court that immediate action is necessary to protect the child. The court will then make a ruling based on the information provided.
