Nevada Revised Statutes Section 62H.040 - Juvenile Justice

Release of child’s name for use in civil action.

1. If a child has committed an act which subjects the child to the jurisdiction of the juvenile court and which may form the basis of a civil action, a person who, in good faith, intends to bring or has brought the civil action or any other person who is a party to the civil action may petition the juvenile court for release of the child’s name.

2. If the person who petitions the juvenile court makes a satisfactory showing that the person intends, in good faith, to use the child’s name in the civil action, the juvenile court shall order the release of the child’s name and authorize its use in the civil action.
