Respondent/Cross-Appellant.

ORDER AFFIRMING IN PART AND
REVERSING IN PART
This is an appeal and cross-appeal from a district court order
setting aside a divorce decree. Fifth Judicial District Court, Nye County;
Robert W. Lane, Judge.
Appellant filed a complaint for divorce in the Eighth Judicial
District Court, but dismissed it after respondent was appointed legal
counsel when the court concluded she had a diminished capacity. A month
later, the parties filed another divorce complaint in the Eighth Judicial
District Court, but dismissed the action after their peremptory challenge
was denied and the matter remained assigned to the same District Court
Judge who had appointed respondent legal counsel in the prior proceedings.
Shortly thereafter, the parties filed yet another divorce complaint in the
Fifth Judicial District Court. After the divorce decree in that action was
entered, respondent relocated to Arkansas where her parents obtained a
guardianship over her. Thereafter, the parents moved to set aside the
divorce decree. The parties then reconciled and remarried. At the hearing
on the motion, appellant’s counsel agreed to set aside the divorce decree as
a moot issue. The district court granted the motion to set aside the divorce
decree and ordered that the joint petition for divorce was dismissed with
