In Re: Petition of Perry (child Custody)

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court reversed an order setting aside an adoption because the grandparents lacked standing to seek relief under NRCP 60(b). The grandparents were not parties or privies, their interests were not directly affected by the adoption, and neither their familial relationship nor their pending guardianship petition created a sufficient statutory or constitutional interest. The court held that a prospective interest arising from a pending guardianship petition does not establish standing to challenge an adoption decree.
