Child Custody Laws in Nevada

Custody determinations in Nevada revolve around a single principle: the "best interest of the child". Nevada courts consider several factors when deciding on custody, including: 

• The child’s physical, developmental, and emotional needs.

• Each parent’s mental and physical health.

• The child’s relationship with each parent.

• Each parent's ability to cooperate to meet the child’s needs.

• Any history of parental abuse, neglect, or domestic violence.

• The child's wishes, if they are of sufficient age and capacity. 

  
  

Nevada recognizes two types of custody, which can be awarded jointly or primarily: 

• Legal Custody: The right to make major decisions concerning the child's life, such as their education, healthcare, and religious upbringing.

• Physical Custody: The arrangement that dictates where the child lives and who is responsible for their day-to-day care. 

  
  

During your initial consultation, ask specific questions such as:

• How many child custody cases have you handled?

• What is your approach to resolving disputes?

• Can you provide examples of successful outcomes?

  
  

The Role of Mediation in Custody Disputes

Before a custody case goes to trial, Nevada courts often require parents to attend mediation. Mediation provides an effective way to resolve disputes without a lengthy, stressful court battle. A neutral, third-party mediator helps facilitate communication between parents to reach a mutually agreeable parenting plan. 

The benefits of mediation include:

• Reduced Conflict: It promotes cooperation, which can lead to a more positive co-parenting relationship.

• Cost and Time Efficiency: Mediation is often a less expensive and faster alternative to litigation.

• Greater Control: Parents have more say in the outcome, rather than leaving the decision to a judge. 

The Role of Mediation in Child Custody Cases

Mediation is a valuable tool in resolving child custody disputes without going to trial. It involves a neutral third party who helps parents communicate and negotiate agreements.

Benefits of mediation include:

• Cost-Effectiveness: Mediation is usually less expensive than court proceedings.

• Speed: Cases can be resolved faster than through litigation.

• Control: Parents have more say in the outcome rather than leaving decisions to a judge.

• Reduced Conflict: Mediation encourages cooperation and can preserve a better co-parenting relationship.

  
  

During mediation, parents discuss issues such as visitation schedules, holidays, and decision-making responsibilities. The mediator facilitates dialogue and helps draft a parenting plan that both parties agree on.

If mediation is successful, the agreement can be submitted to the court for approval, making it legally binding.

To build the strongest case possible, effective preparation is essential. TURLEY Legal Team will help you gather the necessary documentation and evidence, such as:

• Demonstrations of your ability to provide a stable and consistent home environment.

• Witnesses who can attest to your character and parenting abilities.

• A positive and respectful co-parenting approach, even during conflict.
