Does Nevada favor joint custody?
Yes. Under NRS 125C.0035, Nevada courts presume that joint physical and legal custody is in the best interests of the child when both parents are capable. A parent who obstructs the other parent's relationship with the child risks losing custody.
What is the difference between legal and physical custody in Nevada?
Legal custody is the right to make major decisions (school, medical, religion). Physical custody refers to where the child lives. Both can be joint (shared) or sole (one parent). Most Nevada courts award joint legal custody; physical custody arrangements vary by family circumstances.
Can I move out of Nevada with my child?
Not without the other parent's consent or a court order. Under NRS 125C.0065, if you have joint custody, you must provide 60 days' written notice before relocating. The other parent can object. The court then holds a hearing to determine whether the move is in the child's best interests.
How is child support calculated in Nevada?
Nevada uses a percentage-of-income model (NRS 125B.070): 18% of the non-custodial parent's monthly gross income for 1 child, 25% for 2, 29% for 3, 31% for 4. Adjustments are made for shared custody time and extraordinary expenses.
