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

"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
