Types of Custody in Nevada
The state of Nevada recognizes both physical custody (referring to who the child lives with) and legal custody (referring to who can make decisions on the child’s behalf). Both types can be established as sole or joint custody.
Physical Custody
If your child lives with you more than 60% of the time, you have primary physical custody. If each parent has physical custody of the child at least 40% of the time, that means they share joint physical custody.
Legal Custody
If you have joint or sole legal custody of your child, you have the right to make certain decisions about their upbringing and lifestyle.
These decisions may include:
- The child’s healthcare
- Where the child goes to school
- What religion the child practices
How to Determine Custody
In Nevada, parents can either establish custody by mutually agreeing on a solution or by allowing a court to establish custody. Courts in Nevada work under the assumption that it is in the child’s best interest to maintain an ongoing relationship with both parents – that’s why parents automatically receive joint legal and physical custody until an official custody order is established. Courts favor joint custody unless it is not in the child’s best interest.
If the parents cannot agree on an arrangement, the court will intervene. When determining custody, courts consider factors such as:
- The child’s wishes (if they are mature enough)
- Any history of child abuse or domestic violence
- Each parent’s willingness to cooperate and co-parent
- The relationship between the parents
- Each parent’s physical and mental health
- The child’s special needs, if any
- Where each parent intends to live after the divorce

"Professionals, genuinely good people and not your typical lawyers."
Very thorough work ....both Shauna and Robert represented me in my first part of my divorce... and did a great job. Professionals, genuinely good people and not your typical lawyers. I highly recommend this firm! Mr. And Mrs.Hill are a wonderful team!! Robert and all of his assistants, treats all of his clients like priority regardless of how busy they may be. Mrs Hill is very sweet, I couldn't have asked for a better group myself for the job, I highly recommend the Hills and feel taken care of. I know what needs to happen is getting done. I'm elated to be in their presence. The young lady who operates the calls and schedules the appointments does so in a timely and organized manner.- Former Client -

"Mr. Hill was great, down to earth, friendly, understanding and a good person."
I was really impressed with how quickly I could get in and meet with the principal attorney Robert Hill. I had gone to a couple other law firms but the experience was not pleasant. I got the feeling that I was an annoyance for them. And others were so crazy over-priced that I was immediately turned off by the experience. Mr. Hill was great, down to earth, friendly, understanding and I felt like really a good person. I would absolutely recommend calling The Hill Law Group to anyone looking for a good honest attorney.- Geoffrey R. -
