Nevada family-law case summaries

This is a very short procedural order, not a decision on the merits of any dispute. Julia Chumak had filed an appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court in a family-law matter involving Jose von Buchwald. Before the court reached any questions about the substance of the case, both sides agreed to end the appeal. In legal terms, they filed a "stipulation" - a formal agreement between the parties. Based on that agreement, the court dismissed (ended) the appeal. The court also stated that each side would pay its own costs and attorney fees rather than one side reimbursing the other. The order does not explain what the original dispute was about, what the lower court decided, or why Chumak appealed. It simply records that the parties agreed to stop the appeal and that the court granted that request.

This is a very short procedural order, not a decision on the merits of any dispute. The two parties in this family-court case agreed between themselves (a "stipulation") that the appeal should end. Because both sides agreed, the Nevada Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, citing NRAP 42, the appellate rule governing voluntary dismissals. The court also ordered that "The parties shall bear theit own costs and attorney fees" - meaning each side pays its own legal expenses rather than one side paying the other's. The order says nothing about what the underlying family-law dispute involved or who would have prevailed; those questions were never decided by the appellate court.

This is a short procedural order, not a decision on the merits of any dispute. Two parties, Renata Popelkova and Howard Miller, had a case in the family court. One side (Popelkova) appealed and the other side (Miller) filed a cross-appeal - meaning both parties asked the Nevada Supreme Court to review something from the lower court. Before the court decided any of the underlying issues, the two sides reached an agreement to end the appeals. This kind of agreement is called a stipulation - a formal, mutual agreement between the parties that is submitted to the court. Based on that stipulation, the court dismissed both the appeal and the cross-appeal. The order also states that each side will pay its own costs and attorney fees. Because this is a dismissal by agreement, the opinion does not explain the facts of the underlying family-law dispute, does not resolve any legal question, and does not address who "won." It simply closes out the appellate proceedings.
