Where to file & where find forms?

I need to know if I have to file other papers with "a request for modification", showing what I want the modification to be for. So far have been unable to locate this modifica-

tion form. Have been searching hi & lo. Can someone point me in a more direct area of where I might locate this particular form. I live in Reno, Nevada.

Do I need to have an attorney for this or is it possible to navigate this myself. I can't really afford the form much less an attorney.

One more question. When you file for divorce are you required to file this in the county you are living at the time, or are you able to file in another county close to you? I'm asking this dumb question because my husband filed for this divorce in Carson City(which is also its own county), yet at the time we both lived in Washoe Valley, which is in Washoe County. Someone I've talked to said that they thought that he had not filed this in the proper court.

You need to read your state's civil procedure rules on jurisdiction. Usually, jurisdiction exists where the defendant (you) lives. In divorces, jurisd. can also exist where the petitioner (he) lives. If neither of you live in the county where the petition was filed, you can move to dismiss the petition for lack of jurisd.

Alternatively, you can move for a change of venue to the county where you both live.

Your county law library will have the rules and form books with sample motions.

Good luck,
Tracey

This is not legal advice and you are not my client. Double check everything with your own attorney and your state's laws.

Thank you. I am going to the law library to-

morrow night.
