Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
What exactly is the "30 30 Rule" used in Family court? Are there legitimate oppositions to the 30-30 rule? In the original hearing, the Judge ordered "Unreimbursed Medical Expenses through December 2010 AND Credit Card Balances as of December 2010 be "spit". Doesn't that cover ALL of the Legitimate Unreimbursed Medical and All "Credit Card Balances" as of the date listed?
No opposition was filed withinm 30 days.; A Motion re contempt hearing is scheduled and now the other parties attorney is claiming the 30-30 rule doesn't apply (????) [and other nonsense objections.

The "30/30 rule" is shorthand for the typical order requiring a parent paying an unreimbursed medical expense to submit the bill for it to the other parent within 30 days of incurring the charge or forfeit the right to reimbursement, and the parent getting the bill 30 days to pay half; usually it also requires either party actually receiving reimbursement to send half of that reimbursement to the other within 30 days.
The order you mention sounds like a regular divorce summing up of outstanding bills and ordering them split. Whether it is reasonable or not depends on a lot of facts not obvious from the question. See:
