Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

Child Custody

Can I file a motion requesting my ex get a psychological evaluation too? At our settlement conference the Judge ordered me to get a psychological evaluation but not my ex-girlfriend. After the conference I realized she should get one as well. No trial date is set. Is it to late to file a motion requesting she get one too? It only seems fair to me. She is going for sole physical custody and I want joint physical custody.

BACKGROUND:

My ex-girlfriend is portraying me to be a bipolar, put of control, violent alcoholic from the beginning of this battle. The court sure seems to be placing value in her accusations! She has gone so far as to fabricate a story that I pushed her and the court issued a TPO. All of coarse is not true. She has now hired an attorney and I can not afford one as I've been unemployed for the past 7 weeks.

Re: Child Custody

Your best vindication will be to go through the psychological exam and have no issues according to the psychologist. At that point, you can ask the court to have her go through a psychological examination (if you have no issues accordingly to the psychologist) based upon her fabricating her allegations against you. Again, if you have no issues after she has made that the foundation of her case against you, she should have less credibility with the judge after that. You should try and get an attorney if you can. If you cannot afford an attorney, you could retain an attorney in an unbundled capacity.
