It depends how far you are in the divorce. Have you been to mediation yet? Do you have a custody order? What kind of false documents is he coming up with? If you would like a consult for fifty dollars for one half hour, email me at [email protected]

Mr. Cogan is entirely correct that your information is too vague to meaningfully answer. You should -- at minimum -- consult with qualified counsel to find out what your rights and responsibilities are, ad consider hiring counsel to represent you.

First, get some background information. See http://www.willicklawgroup.com/child_custody_visitation. Then, you should probably seek consultation with an appropriate family law specialist. I would suggest starting your search with the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, the Nevada chapter of which can be viewed at http://www.aaml.org/go/fellows/fellows-by-state/?showResults=true&state=NV.

If you decide you would like to discuss this with one of the attorneys of this firm, please take a look at our consultation policies, procedures, and costs, at http://www.willicklawgroup.com/consultation_policies.

If you just cannot afford counsel, the local Pro Bono provider is the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada, which can be called at 702-386-1070 (or see their information on the web at http://www.lacsn.org/option,com_jcalpro/Itemid,3/extmode,view/extid,15/). Those that take pro bono cases take them after they have been screened, and assigned, by Legal Aid. The Reduced Fee Panel sponsored by the State Bar can be reached at 702-382-2200. Additionally, there are free consultations offered on Thursdays at the self-help center; volunteer attorneys provide 15-minute consultations, for free, on family law questions. For those that wish to attempt self-representation, forms are available at the Clark County self-help center website, at http://www.co.clark.nv.us/district_court/self_help_center.htm.
