Nevada Supreme Court

In Re: N.d., G.d. and M.d. (family)

January 8, 2026142 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 2

Summary

The court held that a juvenile court order dismissing and completely resolving a child-protection petition under NRS Chapter 432B is appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(1), even though the proceeding involves child custody. The court concluded that NRAP 3A(b)(7) does not displace the separate final-judgment basis for appellate jurisdiction and overruled prior precedent to the extent it categorically treated such orders as unappealable. Because the challenged order completely resolved the proceedings, the appeal was allowed to proceed.
