Existing law grants the district court exclusive jurisdiction over the issuance or dissolution of certain orders for protection where the adverse party is a child who is under 18 years of age. Existing law requires a district court to appoint counsel for a child who is the adverse party against whom an order for protection is sought. (NRS 3.2201) Section 1 of this bill eliminates this requirement. Section 1 also provides that an admission, representation or statement made during a proceeding relating to the issuance or dissolution of an order for protection where the adverse party is a child is not admissible in any criminal proceeding.
