(b) Child custody proceeding. A “child custody proceeding” is any proceeding in which legal custody, physical custody, or visitation with respect to a minor child is an issue.

(c) Close of discovery. Unless otherwise ordered by the court, or otherwise required by another rule or statute, the expression “close of discovery” or references to a date by which discovery is due refers to the date by which discovery is to be completed, not the date on which it is to be requested.

(d) Day. A “day” is a 24-hour period from 12:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m., regardless of the day of the week it falls or whether the courts are open on that day.

(f) Family division matters. A “family division matter” is any matter heard in the family division.

(g) Judge or court. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “judge” or “court” means the presiding judicial officer, whether a district court judge, hearing master, commissioner, or similar presiding officer, and references in other statutes or rules to the title of any judicial officer will be construed as referring to the judicial officer performing that function in the family division.

(h) NRCP. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “the NRCP” are to the current version of the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure.

Nothing in these rules permits service of a document by any means not provided for service of that document by other statute, rule, or court order. Unless the context indicates otherwise, “service” means the initiation of service by depositing papers into the mail, transmitting electronically, etc., not the receipt of the service.
