Many family law matters involve complex and valuable legal rights which cannot adequately be protected without the assistance of an
attorney. The information provided is basic, general information that does not fit all situations. It is the duty of each self-represented
individual to know what rules of court and law apply. For more information on the law, these forms, and free classes, visit
www.familylawselfhelpcenter.org or the Family Law Self Help Center at 601 N. Pecos Road.
You can voluntarily dismiss your case if:
You are the Plaintiff (you filed the initial paperwork);
You have decided you do not want to proceed with your case anymore; AND
The Defendant has not yet filed any paperwork in the case.
If the Defendant has already filed paperwork in the case, then this form will not work. Instead,
both parties must agree to dismiss the case. Fill out a Stipulation and Order to dismiss the case instead.
If you change your mind later, you cannot reopen your case. You will have to file a new case and start
over. You will also have to pay any court fees again. Fees do not transfer from an old case to a new one.
Notice of Voluntary Dismissal. Print clearly and use dark ink.
Mail: Send your forms to Clerk of Court, 601 N Pecos, Las Vegas, NV 89101.

those in.
