The Nevada Supreme Court has issued an order in ADKT 0619 approving the adoption of a pilot program to implement informal family trials in pre-judgment and post-­judgment family law proceedings.

The proposed Rules Governing Informal Family Law Trials shall be adopted as District Court Rule 27 included in Exhibit A of the order. They become effective on November 19, 2024, and expire on November 19, 2025, unless further extended by the court.

The Family Law Subcommittee of the Judicial Council of the State of Nevada (JCSN) is expected to file a report with the court no later than November 19, 2025, detailing feedback from the district courts participating in the pilot program regarding successes, concerns, and issues related to the pilot program.
