NEVADA DIVORCE WIN

The Ciciliano Law Office recently won many issues in a Nevada divorce case.  In a case where the mother requested primary custody of the minor children and spousal support, District Court Judge Duckworth awarded our Client (the father) joint custody of the children and spousal support that was far less than what the mother requested.


As we have previously discussed, the rights of a Nevada father are considered equal to those of a mother.  Because of this, District Court Judges must begin each case with the presumption that custody should be shared.  It is the burden of the party requesting primary custody (in this case the mother) to show the Court that joint custody is not in the best interests of the children.  Factors the Court will consider, when determining what is in the children's best interests, include:

• Which parent will ensure that the children maintain a relationship with the non-custodial parent.
• The level of cooperation between the parents.
• The needs of the children.
• Maintaining a relationship between the children and their siblings.
• Whether there is a history of domestic violence between the parties.
• The historical relationship between parents and children.

Again, the Court will begin each case with a presumption that custody should be shared.
