Child Custody & Support Law

Based on 2025 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 48.8% of all live births in Nevada are to unmarried mothers. This high-rate ranks Nevada among the top states in the U.S. for children born outside of marriage. Because of the changing environment, it’s important to familiarize yourself with what parental rights you automatically possess and for what obligations you are legally responsible.

Custody Fators

Stable Home Environment

The Court considers the stability and overall environment of each household when determining what arrangement best serves the child’s needs.

Prior Legal History

Past domestic violence incidents, criminal history, or legal concerns are evaluated carefully when determining custody arrangements.

Health & Behavior

Drug or alcohol abuse and overall parental behavior are reviewed to ensure the child’s safety and long-term well-being.

Parental Evaluation

Each parent may be evaluated individually by the Court to determine their ability to provide proper care and support.

Child Support Guidelines

Support Modification

Regular Support Review

Nevada Courts may review and adjust child support agreements every three years upon request to reflect updated financial or personal circumstances.

Early Modification Requests

Support orders may be modified sooner if significant life changes occur affecting the child, parent, or overall financial situation.

Establishing Paternity

If paternity is in question, a legal action may be filed by the child, mother, or an interested third party to determine the father-child relationship.

Termination Of Rights

Grounds for Termination

Parental rights may be terminated due to abandonment, neglect, unfitness, or failure to properly adjust parental responsibilities.

Risk to the Child

Courts may terminate rights if there is a serious risk of physical, mental, or emotional harm to the child.

Child’s Best Interest

The Court’s primary consideration is whether termination of parental rights serves the best interests of the child.

Restraining Orders & Enforcement

Protection in Domestic Situations

Courts may issue restraining orders or injunctions to prevent interference between parties and to protect custody and visitation rights.

Support Enforcement Across States

Child support orders from other states can be enforced locally or across state lines through government child support enforcement offices.
