More details to this question:
Is it possible to ask the court to review the circumstances and/or modifying decree due to misrepresentation as it was clearly stated by the judge in decree that "information was scattered". I was unable to represent myself at this time due to my physical condition. This placed the trial on an even playing field. After the decree was issued I hired a new attorney to address my concerns, but was immediately taken back to court for child support. My concerns about my children and visitation could not be addressed at the same hearing. What can I do? The recommendation from the court appointed advocate and a visitation were not clear during the trial. In fact ended up loosing time with my children. I had been a stay at home mom for 15 years and the lifestyle to which the children were accustomed to has clearly been effected. My main concern is my children and that they get the help they need, and are able to have a healthy relationship with both parents.Very complex and I'm BROKE!

This question was answered in detail previously, but it appears that the earlier response did not post properly. In summary, SOME things can be reviewed years after a decree, but other things become "final" after 10 days, 30 days, or 6 months (there are various rules on various topics). Just not presenting the information that was known in a trial two years ago is probably not good enough to have another hearing on the matter. Your facts are pretty vague.
If you really cannot afford counsel, the local Pro Bono provider is the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada, which can be called at 702-386-1070 (or see their information on the web at http://www.lacsn.org/option,com_jcalpro/Itemid,3/extmode,view/extid,15/). Those that take pro bono cases take them after they have been screened, and assigned, by Legal Aid. The Reduced Fee Panel sponsored by the State Bar can be reached at 702-382-2200. Additionally, there are free consultations offered on Thursdays at the self-help center; volunteer attorneys provide 15-minute consultations, for free, on family law questions. For those that wish to attempt self-representation, forms are available at the Clark County self-help center website, at http://www.clarkcountycourts.us/shc/Supporting%20Documents/self_help_supportingdocs.html.
