Family Court / District Court
handles custody in NV
Nev. Rev. Stat. § 125C.0035
custody statute
Nevada custody law
Nevada presumes joint physical custody is in the child's best interest and requires clear and convincing evidence to deviate from it.
What Nevada courts consider in custody decisions
Nevada enacted a presumption of joint physical custody (equal time-sharing) effective January 1, 2020 under NRS § 125C.003. This presumption can only be overcome by clear and convincing evidence — a high burden of proof. Best interest factors under § 125C.0035 include the wishes of the child if of sufficient age and capacity, the nomination of a custodian by the child, the level of conflict between the parents, the ability of the parents to cooperate to meet the child's needs, the mental and physical health of the parents, the physical, developmental, and emotional needs of the child, the nature of the child's relationship with each parent, the ability of the child to maintain a relationship with any sibling, any history of parental abuse or neglect, and whether either parent or any person in either household is a sex offender.
How the custody process works in Nevada
Nevada custody cases are filed in Family Court (in Clark and Washoe counties) or District Court (in other counties). Since the 2020 law change, courts begin with a baseline of equal physical custody and require clear and convincing evidence to deviate. Parents must complete a mandatory seminar on the effects of separation/divorce on children (the COPE program in Clark County). Mediation is strongly encouraged, and Family Mediation Center services are available through the court. The court may appoint a custody evaluator to provide a detailed recommendation.

Civly is not a law firm and this page is not legal advice. Custody law and the rules of evidence vary from state to state, and individual judges apply them differently. For advice about your own case, speak to a family law attorney licensed in Nevada. Civly launched in 2026 and is not named in many court orders yet — if your order already requires a specific platform, keep using it and ask your attorney before switching.
