A Nevada Ex Parte Motion to Open an Adoption File is a motion filed in the court by an adopted person or the person’s legal representative for the purpose of accessing the adoption file. This type of motion is used when the adopted individual is trying to gain access to their original birth records, which are usually sealed due to the confidential nature of the adoption process. There are two types of Nevada Ex Parte Motion to Open an Adoption File: (1) Motion to Open Adoption File without Notice; and (2) Motion to Open Adoption File with Notice. The Motion to Open Adoption File without Notice is typically used when the adopted person is seeking to have their file opened without notifying the original birth parent. The Motion to Open Adoption File with Notice involves notifying the original birth parent of the motion and allowing them to respond to the motion before the court makes a decision.
