Types of Custody
Nevada recognizes both legal custody and physical custody.
Legal custody refers to who has the right to make decisions about the child’s upbringing and lifestyle. A parent with legal custody can make decisions about the child’s healthcare, education, religion, and more.
Physical custody refers to who the child lives with. Both physical and legal custody can be shared jointly or given solely to one parent. Even if one parent has sole physical custody, both parents may share joint legal custody and vice versa.
Navigate Your Custody Case with The Hill Law Group
If you and your partner can agree on a child custody arrangement, this is often the best-case scenario. Parents who effectively negotiate an arrangement are often more prepared to co-parent and maintain a strong relationship with their child. We always urge our clients to make every effort to resolve custody disputes in mediation to save time and money, reduce stress, and protect the children’s well-being.
If you and your partner cannot agree on custody arrangements, your case will be decided by a family court judge. Courts tend to favor joint custody to ensure that the child maintains a relationship with both parents. However, the judge has broad discretion and may award custody in whatever way he or she believes reflects the child’s best interests.
Factors that may affect a judge’s custody decision include:
- The child’s preference (if old enough)
- Any history of domestic violence or child abuse
- Where each parent lives
- Each parent’s willingness to cooperate and co-parent together
- Each parent’s mental and physical health

"I Highly Recommend Shauna and Robert for the job."
I Highly Recommend Shauna and Robert- Patrick W., NV -
"They are truly a God send and the BEST divorce lawyers in Las Vegas!"
They were friendly and very efficient. I would most definitely recommend them and use them again, if the need arose. 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 a God send and the BEST divorce lawyers in Las Vegas! May Lord bless Shauna and Robert and their business!- Former Client -
"They were with us every step of the way"
We came with a family issue. It was a delicate situation and they were with us every step of the way. Husband and wife team who we can't recommend enough.- 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. -

"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
