Types of Custody
Nevada recognizes both physical custody and legal custody.
- Physical custody refers to who the child lives with
- Legal custody refers to which parent can make decisions about the child’s lifestyle and upbringing
Both physical and legal custody can be shared jointly or given solely to one parent. Arrangements can be made according to the family’s unique circumstances. For example, even if one parent has sole physical custody, both parents may share joint legal custody.
How Is Custody Determined?
If you and the other parent can agree on custody arrangements, you have the right to create your own custody order and parenting plan. These agreements are best reached through negotiation, mediation, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.
If you cannot reach an agreement, a family court judge will intervene and establish custody for you. The judge has broad discretion but will always prioritize the child’s best interests.
Other factors that will affect a judge’s custody decisions include:
- Each parent’s relationship with the child
- Where each parent lives
- The proximity of each parent’s home to the child’s school, doctors, etc.
- Any history of domestic violence or child abuse
- The child’s preference (if they are old enough)
- Each parent’s mental and physical health
- The child’s special needs, if any

"The BEST Family/Divorce Lawyers in Las Vegas in My Opinion!"
The BEST Family/Divorce Lawyers in Las Vegas in My Opinion! I have interviewed more than half a dozen divorce lawyers and finally hired Shauna Hill to handle my divorce case because Lord led me to find a lawyer with Christian beliefs. God is never wrong – Through the whole process of my divorce, Shauna showed her true caring/affection towards me and my kids’ well beings, attention to details, full understanding of my strong religious beliefs, rich knowledge in divorce laws, honesty about not familiar with certain questions I asked (she did research for those topics before I hired her which means she never charged me for those research). Most importantly, she encouraged me to work out an agreement with my then husband, never once did she push me to go to trial (which also means a whole lot more money for her). Even at one point, she got her husband Robert involved to educate me about my rights but never charged me double. Her billing was so honest that I didn’t even run out the initial deposit money when my case was done! So if you want lawyers who are considerate, passionate, have great knowledge in divorce and family laws, who truly care about your future well beings, and are the ones who can take you through the painful process of divorce and help you live a life after it with peace and joy in your mind, Shauna and Robert are the ones you should choose! They are truly God send and the BEST divorce lawyers in Las Vegas! May Lord bless Shauna and Robert and their business!- Sarah H. -
"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. -

"If you're looking for someone who will truly work for your best interest, Shauna Hill is it!"
I went into my first appointment not knowing what to expect regarding my divorce case. I really thought I would end up owing more money in marital debt than I would receive from the sale of the marital residence. My name was not on the house so I was not sure what I was legally entitled to. Shauna Hill made me feel very comfortable from the very first appointment, and worked diligently on my case. I ended up with zero marital debt and monetary gain from the sale of the marital residence. If you're looking for someone who will truly work for your best interest, Shauna Hill is it!- Former Client -
