Nevada custody laws focus on one guiding principle: the best interests of the child. Courts typically favor joint custody whenever it is safe and appropriate, but every family is different. At Waite Family Law, we help you understand your rights, responsibilities, and what Nevada courts consider when determining custody.
Nevada recognizes two types of custody:
Legal Custody
The right to make major decisions about your child’s education, healthcare, and wellbeing.
Physical Custody
Where the child lives and how much time they spend with each parent.
Key factors the court evaluates include:
We help you understand how these factors apply to your situation and what steps to take to support a strong parenting arrangement.
Whenever possible, we encourage parents to reach custody agreements cooperatively rather than through litigation. Clients who choose amicable or negotiated custody processes often experience:

Some custody cases require a stronger legal response, especially when issues of safety, instability, or parental misconduct arise. When conflict cannot be avoided, we provide steady, strategic advocacy designed to protect your child and safeguard your parental rights.
We assist with:
Our approach is grounded in evidence, preparation, and a deep understanding of how Nevada courts evaluate the best interests of the child.

Life changes—and sometimes a custody order must change with it. Nevada allows modifications when there has been a significant change in circumstances that affects the child’s best interests.
