Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
If the Judge issued a minute order in response to a motion (no hearing held) and ordered that an amended order be issued and no amended order was ever created or filed into the record, is this order enforceable or valid? It has been over 2 years. If it is not enforceable, can I have that "amended" order vacated?

Short answers "not really" and "probably not." No one can be held in contempt (yet) for not doing what an order says if it is never filed -- but the rules allow the order to be entered at pretty much any time after it is pronounced (although the rule "requires" it within ten days, there is no "or else" if it is not). it is probably a good idea for you to consult with a qualified family law specialist to go over the particulars of your situation.
