Nevada family-law case summaries

This is a case about a parent's attempt to change a child custody arrangement. Tina Leah Rohmiller asked the district court to modify the custody order in her case, but on December 7, 2025, the district court said no. She then filed several follow-up motions asking the court to reconsider, rehear, or undo that decision. While her appeal was pending, the Supreme Court of Nevada told the lower court (on April 27, 2026) to first resolve those pending follow-up motions and paused the briefing schedule - the written arguments that each side files. The district court then denied those follow-up motions on May 15, 2026. In this order, the court cleaned up and organized the multiple related appeals Rohmiller had filed. It found that the appeal in one docket (No. 92490) was now ready to move forward, so it restarted the briefing schedule. Because a second appeal (No. 92888) came from the same court case and involved the same people, the court combined - "consolidated" - the two appeals so they would be handled together. Rohmiller was given 40 days to file a single opening brief covering the issues in both. The court also ordered the district court clerk to send up a complete copy of the trial court record so the justices can review everything that was filed below. Finally, the court noticed that a third appeal (No. 92643) challenged the very same orders as the appeal in Docket No. 92490. Because it was a duplicate, the court dismissed the appeal in Docket No. 92643, letting the appeal in Docket No. 92490 proceed instead. No decision was made on whether custody should actually be changed; this order deals only with how the appeals will proceed.
