Nevada Child Custody
When children are involved and trapped in the middle of an ending relation, whether by divorce or otherwise, it can make an already stressful time even more emotionally draining. As custody, child support and visitation rights are negotiated, the Nevada Family Court does all it can to lessen the trauma on them of a procedure that they may not fully understand. The lawyers at Naimi & Dilbeck are doubly committed to this cause.
If a custody decision cannot be resolved between the parents or guardians, a hearing will be held to determine custody rights. During this hearing, the sole consideration of the court is to determine what circumstances are in the best interest of the child, including sole or joint custody. Decisions are reached by looking at factors including the child’s wishes, examples of parental involvement, and if there is any history of exposure to domestic violence. As your custody lawyers, we will work with you in making the case that you should retain custody of your children.
We will also work with you to ensure that the maximum amount of child support is allotted so that your child will be provided the means they deserve for continued wellbeing. While the State of Nevada has a formula they use to calculate a base sum of the monetary support, the amount may be adjusted based on numerous factors. These factors include, but are not limited to:
- Cost of health insurance
- Cost of childcare
- Special educational needs
- Age of the child
- Value of services contributed by either parent
- Any public assistance paid to support the child
In addition to representing you during the initial divorce case and negotiating child custody and support, our lawyers can provide representation during re-negotiations should circumstances arise that might prevent continued payments or responsibility of the child.
