Your facts are a bit confusing, and seem contradictory. For information on child custody cases, motions, etc., see the information posted at http://willicklawgroup.com/child-custody-and-visitation/.
Consider seeing a private lawyer; if you really can't afford one, consider at least a consultation at the free Thursday afternoon "Ask-A-Lawyer" program at family court. Consider applying for pro bono assistance through the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada. If you really believe that you must file things on your own, forms with explanations are posted at the Clark County family court self help center website. See http://www.familylawselfhelpcenter.org/.
