NRS
126.091 Jurisdiction; joinder; venue.
1. Each district court has jurisdiction of
an action brought under this chapter. The action may be joined with:
(a) An action for divorce, annulment, separate
maintenance or support; or
(b) A proceeding held pursuant to chapter 432B of NRS. An action brought under
this chapter that is joined with a proceeding held pursuant to chapter 432B of NRS may be initiated at any
time during the proceeding by filing a petition within the proceeding.
2. A person who has sexual intercourse in
this state thereby submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state as
to an action brought under this chapter with respect to a child who may have
been conceived by that act of intercourse. In addition to any other method
provided by law, personal jurisdiction may be acquired by personal service of
summons outside this state or by certified mail, restricted delivery, with
return receipt requested.
3. The action may be brought in the county
in which the child, the mother or the alleged father resides or is found or, if
the father is deceased, in which proceedings for probate of the father’s estate
have been or could be commenced. The court has jurisdiction whether or not the
plaintiff resides in this state.
4. If an action to establish paternity is
transferred from one judicial district in this state to another judicial
district in this state, the district court to which the action is transferred
shall not require the petitioner to file additional documents with the court or
provide additional service of process upon the respondent to maintain
jurisdiction over the parties.
