Janice Jacovino
Jacovino Law OfficeI am the founder of the Jacovino Law Office. Jacovino Law Office is located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Our clients and their legal issues are given individual, personal attention. Mediation and Litigation experienced so our clients receive both collaborative focused attention and also adversarial and strategic trial preparation if a resolution can not be reached. I attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and obtained a Bachelor’s Degree with honors in Psychology. I graduated with a Juris Doctorate from the William S. Boyd School of Law at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2009. Through my legal education and career, I have participated in many community based legal programs including internships with the Family Court and Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada, and community outreach and education programs through Boyd. I participate in Legal Aid’s Ask an Attorney sessions and judged numerous mock trials, oral arguments, and client counseling competitions. I look forward to meeting new clients and helping them understand their rights, prepare for court, and reach a beneficial outcome.

- A: The arrears are not automatically waived. Just be careful what you sign as they can include a provision to waive them, end all child support obligations, or include some other language that may be interpreted as waiving arrears.
- Q. what do I do if the opposing party filed a stipulation with family courts that had your signature but you never signed?
- A: You would have to file a Motion to Set Aside the Stipulation and Order with the court stating the same.
You will both have your opportunity to argue your side. If neither of neither of you have proof, him that you signed, and you that you did not, then the judge will may have hard time figuring out who is not being truthful but this gives you a chance to be heard.
- Q. Defendant to comply with any and all directives from Child Protective Services; No contact with any minors unless approv
- A: When dealing with protective services is it best to follow their rules.
