For general information  go to What To Do If You Have Been Sued on the Clark County Courts’ Civil Law Self-Help Center website.  If you have been served with a Summons and Complaint, and no judgment has been entered, you need to file an Answer or other responsive pleading.  Go to Civil Forms on the Clark County Courts’ Civil Law Self-Help Center website and click on the needed pleading for the proper court.

If you have been sued, Judgment has been entered, and your wages have been or are about to be garnished, and you believe your wages are exempt, then visit our Attach and Garnish information page.

If you have been sued and a Default and Default Judgment have been entered against you because you did not file an Answer (and, as a result, you have been or are about to be garnished and can't claim a legitimate exemption from garnishment), then the following forms may assist you...
