I have retained 2 different lawyers in my family court case at different times and asked multiple people and had mixed reviews and answers but never got a straight answer.
Nevada
1. Im in a family custody case and the opposing party is also in a criminal case, they stated they hired 3 attorneys. One to handle the family case and two on the criminal case. Since elections are going on right now in Nevada would it be a conflict of interest if either or any of other party's lawyers donated to one of the judges campaign in the family case with out disclosing it to me in court would that be a conflict of interest?
2. Is it true that the supreme court requires a substantive written order that substantiates the judges decision?
3. What happens if a decision is made based on verbal testimony ?
4. What happens if no facts in evidence or documents were submitted in my case, and the judges notes leave no indication as to why he made that decision ?
5. If the opposing partys attorney signs a
court order document with family court with my attorney stating it is not to be shared with anyone else but the parties who signed it. If that attorney shared the opposing partys client information and cc'd the info to another attorney on the opposing sides criminal matter who has nothing to do with the family case. Would that fall under attorney misconduct or possibly be grounds for a retrial?
6. IF the opposing partys attorney in family court contacts me to try and negotiate a settlement in the family court case by bringing up the opposing parties criminal case that I was subpoenaed to go too. Is that attorney misconduct and how could you prove it unless you had the phone conversation and if you did have the phone conversations would you be able to use it ?
7.What if you find out the opposing partys lawyer had worked as an employee for your attorney and are supporters of each other and good friends on facebook is that a conflict of interest?
8. IF I am behind in another state with
child support but filed a motion to modify it and your other kids are grown, would that effect your present custody case with a new child?
If anyone may know or have any advice or opinions Id appreciate it.
