A: Consider calling the Nevada Bar, which maintains a list of attorneys who will take a reduced fee, through the Reduced Fee Panel.  In Southern Nevada the number is 702-382-2200; there is a Northern office as well.  Additionally, there are free consultations offered in both Las Vegas and Reno; you may have to ask the Bar about Reno schedule; volunteer attorneys provide 15-minute consultations, for free, on family law questions.  For those that wish to attempt self-representation, forms are available at the Clark County self-help center website, at http://www.familylawselfhelpcenter.org/; again, there should be a Northern Nevada counterpart.  If not, use the Clark County forms and modify them.
