NRS 73.010 is the statute which discusses the jurisdiction of justice courts for small claims. This statute provides that Small Claims Court may take jurisdiction over a matter where the defendant named: 1. Is a resident of; 2. Does business in; or 3. Is employed in
the township in which the action is to be maintained. As residents of Colorado, you cannot be technically sued in Small Claims Court. However you need to be aware that since you own a home in Mesquite that a creditor may attempt to at least assert that you are actually residents (and your Nevada property) of Mesquite and thus subject to the jurisdiction of that court.
