Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Nevada

Collect Debt from Ex-Husband

My Ex-husband was court ordered to pay me a settlement. He does not work, but I believe that he collects workman's compensation in Nevada. I sent garnishment papers to the sheriff's department and they were returned stating that I had to domesticate the garnishment. How do I do that?

This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.

We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed.

There is a process to enforce a judgment from another State in Nevada. If you want legal assistance with this you may want to contact the Nevada Bar Association for referral to an attorney.
