Does divorce paperwork expire?

Check with the court clerk in your county to find out for sure. Sometimes civil cases are dismissed after five years but I don't think the same is true of divorce cases. If the two of you want to now proceed with the divorce, I think the old case can be re-opened. As I said, check with the court clerk in your county. Good luck

I have only been married less than a year, and my husband is getting a pension from a former job, am I entitled to part of it?

I assume you are talking about in the context of now being separated, as opposed to still happily married living together? As a spouse, you do have 50% interest in his retirement/pension assets but ONLY the "marital portion" or value accrued from the date of marriage to the date of separation which in your situation sounds like is a very short time. Also, you would need to actually agree to all this in a separation agreement or else file for your property division rights in court before any divorce was granted. You should consult with an attorney to discuss further.

Do I have to let baby daddy know where I live (911 address) after we divorce?

In general, when two people share a child, they are each entitled to know the address of the other. This should be stated in your divorce papers, but I find it hard to believe that you have court orders that say he can see the child whenever he wants. That would be contrary to Nevada law, which requires there be a set visitation schedule. Check your court orders and see if they require you to give him your address. If they do, you must provide it. If they do not, you need to consider whether or not this is a battle you want to fight. If he does show up at your place and stalk, harass, or threaten you, then you can get a restraining order against him.
