efile the ex parte motion. See Step 2 for more information.
In person: Bring your forms to the Family Courthouse. File them at the Clerk’s Office on the 1
st
floor
(you will need to get a ticket for filing when you arrive).

one of these ways:
Mail it to the courthouse: Mail it to: Family Court, 601 N. Pecos Rd., Las Vegas, NV 89101
Email it to your judge: Find the letter that your case is assigned to (for example, Dept C, Dept F,
etc.). Insert the department letter where the _ is in the following email format:
dept_inbox@clarkcountycourts.us and send it by email.
Bring it to the courthouse: Take it to the drop box on the first floor outside the Clerk’s Office.
The box says “Department Drop Box.”
It may take 2-3 weeks before you get an answer from the judge.
If Your Application is Approved:
The judge will sign the Order, and then the Clerk will file your documents and send it to you. Keep
the order in a safe place as you may need it later.
If There is a Problem With Your Documents:
You may have the option to fill out a new Application to have your request considered again. The
note from the judge’s staff will say if they need more information to decide if you should get the fee
waiver.
If Your Application is Denied:
You will receive your documents back with a note explaining that your application was denied. You
will have to pay the filing fee by mail, online, or in person. You may not be able to file any other
documents with the family court until the filing fee is paid.
Make sure you serve the documents that you filed on the other party.
Refer to your other instructions to find out how you need to serve the other person.
