Martin vs. Martin
Docket Number: 81810 / 82517
Carson City - 2:00 pm - Full Court
These are consolidated appeals from a district court order regarding enforcement of military retirement benefits and an order after hearing, awarding attorney fees, in divorce proceedings. When the parties divorced in 2015, they agreed to a provision in their decree of divorce which stated, “Should Erich select to accept military disability payments, Erich shall reimburse Raina for any amount that her share of the pension is reduced due to the disability status.” After Erich opted for full military disability pay and asserted that federal law did not require him to reimburse Raina, Raina moved to enforce the decree of divorce. The district court enforced the decree of divorce and granted Raina pendente lite attorney fees.
ISSUES:
The issues before this court are (1) whether the district court erred by enforcing the decree of divorce under contract principles and res judicata; and (2) whether the district court abused its discretion by ordering pendente lite attorney fees.

Yafchak vs South Las Vegas Medical Investors
Docket Number: 82746
Carson City - 3:00 pm - Full Court
Appellant argues that the district court erred when it dismissed its complaint for failure to provide an affidavit in accordance with NRS 41A.071, based upon the court’s application of this court's recent opinion in Estate of Curtis v. South Las Vegas Medical Investors, LLC, 136 Nev. 350, 466 P.3d 1263 (2020).
ISSUES:
The issues on appeal are whether the district court erred when it dismissed appellant’s complaint because (1) appellant was excused from complying with NRS 41A.071’s affidavit requirement, (2) compliance was unnecessary because appellant’s allegations sounded in ordinary negligence and, therefore, were not subject to the requirements of NRS 41A.071, and (3) requiring the Estate to submit an expert affidavit defeated the purpose of Nevada’s elder abuse statute.
