Reviewing Court Orders

Nevada let the Plaintiff’s Attorney write all the court orders. Melody, was not brought into the writing process as an attorney would have been. Melody was self represented assisted only by speedylegalforms.com a well known “not attorney” service in Las Vegas. There is no record of Speedy Legal Forms representatives or Melody Rainwater being contacted about writing the Court Orders. This was never a level playing field.

Problems persisted. Plaintiff’s Attorney filed on Opposition to Melody’s Motion declaring she no longer lived in Nevada. This was confusing for several reasons. First of all, Melody had stated her intent to move months before she moved to both Plaintiff and Plaintiff’s Attorney in writing. He had given her written permission to move to California.

Melody was telling the truth, she had moved out of Nevada. Permanently. How could he oppose this? It was fact. Stupid.

Plaintiff’s Attorney mistitled the Opposition calling it Opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion. This led Melody to think it was not addressed to her and she did not need to respond. Melody has no idea if this is true since it is not clearly delineated in Nevada Law.

Plaintiff’s Attorney made a big deal about how qualified he was when she later read the Opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion written by Plaintiff’s Attorney. If he was so qualified then it can only be assumed that such a stupid mistake would be on purpose. After all, the Attorney said he charged $450.00 every hour. That seems like a crazy stupid amount of money to pay someone who can’t do law. Clearly he was harassing the opposing party, trying to gain an advantage.

There is more evidence of this. In the June, 2024 hearing Plaintiff’s Attorney said the Judge “could not” dismiss the case. Then he quoted some statute. The judge clearly understood and agreed but Plaintiff and Defendant had no idea what was just said. Did they expect Melody to get a law degree in Nevada Divorce Law in the past few months?

Are you curious what statue? The one that says that an Opposition Motion must be responded to. So here we have a Plaintiff, a tax paying resident of California. We have Defendant, also a tax paying resident of California. We have a minor child born in a California Hospital from a Marriage License issued in California. We have a defendant with no legal counsel at her very first divorce hearing logged on from out of State and a plaintiff also logged onto Zoom from out of State. The only people left in Nevada were the Judge and Attorney.

Nothing had been done and nothing needed to be done at that moment. Mr. Rainwater was paying some negotiated family support every two weeks.

What Melody deserved was a clear and explained jurisdiction hearing where Nevada clearly examined and answered the question as to why they were the forum for the divorce. Melody expected this to include a discussion of what was best for the minor child. When she tried to bring up the subject of the child’s education and his bond with his older brother, she was yelled at by the judge.

Melody was afraid of the Judge because the Judge could decide she was an unfit mother. Melody kept silent and tried not to argue with the judge. She had been warned she would be yelled at by this judge. It seems stupid for Nevada to pay over $160,000 a year for a Judge to yell at people.

Melody did not think she was an unfit mother.

Now she faced a Judge who was yelling at her. Melody wondered if she were under attack? People in California don’t act like this.

Melody was never allowed to make a mistake in the case. She was mercilessly punished.

The Nevada Judge allowed Leo lots of mistakes.

The Nevada Judge seemed to treat Leo like he was perfect, never questioning actions, motives or requests.
