A Nevada Request and Order to Waive Mediation is a legal document used to waive the need for court-ordered mediation in a civil case in the state of Nevada. The document is typically filed by a party to a case who believes that it would be beneficial to their case to bypass the mediation process and proceed directly to trial. It is signed by a judge, and if granted, it eliminates the requirement of court-ordered mediation. There are two types of Nevada Request and Order to Waive Mediation: General Waiver and Exempt Waiver. A General Waiver is filed by a party to a case that believes that the case has not been properly developed or that the parties are too far apart to benefit from mediation. An Exempt Waiver is filed for cases that are not appropriate for mediation, such as cases involving child support, criminal matters, or certain types of personal injury cases.
