Well, if either of you actually files an action for Separate Maintenance or Divorce, you can utilize the court's Family Mediation Center to try to get a Parenting Plan in place. Samples, forms, and general information and guidance is set out at the Child Custody (http://www.willicklawgroup.com/child_custody_visitation) and Child Support (http://www.willicklawgroup.com/child_support) pages of the web site. Also see http://www.willicklawgroup.com/separate_maintenance, and http://www.willicklawgroup.com/mediation_services.
If you really cannot afford to see an attorney, 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.
