How much time do I have to respond to a "Motion to Show Cause" in Nevada. What happens if I miss the filing deadline by one or two days? What can I lawyer do?
Well the general rule for responding to most Motions is Ten Days, unless it was calendared on a Shortening Time Order. Though procedurally improper to file a day or two late, I've never seen a Court completely disregard an opposition filed a day late.
That being said, you may want to consider talking to an attorney because the failure to respond to Show Cause matters can lead to a Contempt of Court order which may lead to various monetary sanctions, and in worst case scenarios, civil Bench Warrants.
