Questions? We've Got Answers

The length of a child custody case can vary depending on factors like the complexity of the issues, whether both parents can agree on a custody arrangement, and the court’s schedule. Some cases may take several months, while more contested cases could take longer. Working with a skilled attorney can help streamline the process and avoid unnecessary delays.
In Las Vegas, there are two main types of custody: legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody refers to the right to make important decisions about your child’s education, health care, and welfare, while physical custody determines where the child will live. Custody can be joint (shared by both parents) or sole (granted to one parent).
If your ex-partner is violating the terms of your custody agreement, it’s important to document any instances of non-compliance. Contact your attorney to discuss your options, which may include filing a motion to enforce the agreement or modifying the custody arrangement through the court.
In Nevada, there is no specific age at which a child can choose which parent to live with. However, a child’s preference can be considered by the court, particularly if they are 14 years of age or older. The judge will assess the child’s maturity and the reasons behind their preference, but ultimately the court’s decision will be based on the child’s best interests.

When determining custody, the court will evaluate various factors, including:

  • The child’s age, health, and emotional needs
  • The parents’ ability to cooperate and provide care
  • The child’s relationship with each parent
  • The parents’ mental and physical health
  • Any history of abuse or neglect

The goal is to ensure the child’s safety and well-being while maintaining meaningful relationships with both parents, when possible.

Yes, custody agreements can be modified if there has been a significant change in circumstances that affects the child’s well-being. For example, if one parent moves out of state, develops health issues, or engages in behavior that affects the child’s safety, the court may modify the agreement. You’ll need to file a petition with the court to request the modification.
Child support in Las Vegas is calculated using a formula set by Nevada’s child support guidelines. The amount is based on factors such as both parents’ income, the amount of time the child spends with each parent, and any special needs the child may have. If circumstances change, a modification of child support may be requested.
Parental alienation occurs when one parent intentionally tries to turn the child against the other parent, often through negative comments or manipulation. This can significantly impact the child’s relationship with the targeted parent and may influence custody decisions. Courts take allegations of parental alienation seriously and may take steps to protect the child’s best interests, including adjusting custody arrangements.
If you have sole custody, you may need court approval before relocating with your child, especially if the move significantly impacts the other parent’s access to the child. The court will evaluate whether the move is in the best interests of the child, considering factors such as the reasons for the move and the child’s relationship with both parents.
Domestic violence can have a major impact on custody decisions. If there is evidence of abuse, the court will prioritize the safety and well-being of the child. The abusive parent may be restricted from having custody or visitation rights, and in some cases, the court may order supervised visits to protect the child. It’s important to provide any evidence of abuse to your attorney, as this can influence the court’s decision.

While it’s not required to have an attorney for a child custody case, it is highly recommended. An experienced attorney can help you navigate the legal system, protect your rights, and ensure that your case is presented effectively. They can also assist with filing necessary documents, negotiating with the other parent, and representing you in court.
