This rule only applies to contested, post-trial motions to modify child custody, parenting time, child support, or separate maintenance.

(a) Discovery. Any party may obtain discovery by one or more methods provided in NRCP 26 through 37, inclusive, commencing ten (10) days after service of the opposition to the motion. Discovery shall be completed no later than ten (10) days before a scheduled hearing.

(b) Initial disclosures. A party must, without awaiting a discovery request, provide to the other parties the initial disclosures required by NRCP 16.2(d) or 16.205(d) (for paternity or custody matters between unmarried parties) within ten (10) judicial days after service of the opposition to the motion. This provision is in addition to any financial disclosures required by these rules or the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure.

(c) Disclosure of expert testimony. A party shall disclose to all other parties the identity of any person who may be used at the evidentiary hearing to present evidence pursuant to NRS 50.275, 50.285, and 50.305. These disclosures must be made within twenty (20) days after the service of the opposition to the motion, or, if the evidence is intended solely to contradict or rebut evidence on the same subject matter identified by another party, within ten (10) days after the disclosure made by the other party.

(d) Prehearing disclosures. In addition to the other prehearing disclosures required by this rule, a party must provide to the other parties the disclosures required by NRCP 16.2(e) or 16.205(e) (for paternity or custody matters between unmarried parties) regarding the evidence that the party may present at the evidentiary hearing, including impeachment and rebuttal evidence.

Unless otherwise directed by the court, these disclosures must be made at least ten (10) days before the evidentiary hearing. Within seven (7) days thereafter, unless a different time is specified by the court, a party may serve any objections, along with the grounds therefore, to the materials identified. Objections not made and served, other than objections pursuant to NRS 48.025 and 48.035, may be deemed waived unless excused by the court for good cause shown.

(e) Continuing duty to supplement. Each party is under a continuing duty to supplement or correct the disclosures under this rule pursuant to NRCP 26(e).
