How custody works in Nevada
Nevada presumes joint physical custody is in the child's best interest and requires clear and convincing evidence to deviate from it.
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.
Cases from Reno are filed in Washoe County and heard in the Washoe County Family Court. The court that hears your case is determined by where the children have been living, not by where either parent works.

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.
