CHILD CUSTODY WIN FOR LAS VEGAS FATHER

Our office won a Nevada father temporary primary custody of his child on July 24th, 2011.  In a case where the mother is believed to be engaging in heavy drug use, District Court Judge Kenneth Pollock ordered that the mother's visitation shall be suspended until she can demonstrate to the Court that she is drug free.  The mother must also pay the father child support.

As we have previously reported, the rights of a Nevada father are equal to those of a mother.  This means that the Court must begin each case with the presumption that custody should be equally shared between the Parties. The Court, however, may award a Party primary custody if it is in the best interests of the child.  When determining what is in a child's best interests, the Court will consider factors such as:

• The needs of the child
• The ability of a parent to meet a child's needs

It goes without saying that a mother engaging in extensive drug use is likely unable to meet the needs of a child.  For this reason, demonstrated drug use will regularly lead to one parent having primary custody.  A Court, however, will not order drug testing simply because one party requests.  The Party requesting a drug test, of the other Party, must demonstrate a reason to believe that drug use is occurring.

When supervised visitation is ordered in a Clark County, Nevada child custody case, it will be held either at Donna's House (which is located at the Clark County Family Courthouse) or with a third-party supervisor.

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.

NEVADA JUDGES ARE INCREASINGLY AWARDING JOINT CHILD CUSTODY

The Ciciliano Law Office has noticed an increased tendency of local Judges to award joint physical custody in Nevada child custody matters.  While a father's rights in Nevada have always been considered equal to a mother's from a legal standpoint, as a practical matter the amount of the time in which joint custody is awarded has increased dramatically.

Many Nevada fathers often feel they have "no rights" in regards to their children.  The Ciciliano Law Office has won custody for fathers as well as mothers.  Our office will start any new child custody matter for $500 down!  Contact us today to speak with a Las Vegas fathers' rights attorney.

NEVADA CHILD CUSTODY WIN

The Ciciliano Law Office won temporary joint custody for a Las Vegas father on April 13th, 2011.  Judge Cynthia Giuliani ordered that the mother and father would share temporary joint physical custody pending an evidentiary hearing.  The Judge also ordered the mother to pay child support to the father.  The prior Order had required the father to pay support to the mother.


Changing child custody in Nevada requires showing that: 1) circumstances have changed since the last custodial order; and 2) that a change of custody be in the child's best interests.  When determining what is in a child's best interests, fathers' rights in Nevada are viewed as equal to those of a mother.

FATHERS' RIGHTS IN CUSTODY CASES

We have previously discussed that Nevada fathers have equal rights in child custody cases. For a parent to gain primary custody, he or she must show that joint custody is not in the best interests of the child or children.  In determining whether joint custody is in a child's best interests, the Court will consider factors such as:

• The historical parent-child relationship
• The needs of the child
• The mental and physical health of the parents
• The source of conflict between the parents
• Any history of domestic violence between the parents

Nevada Courts are increasingly awarding joint custody to Nevada fathers.  Contact us today if you require the services of a Las Vegas fathers' rights lawyer.  Our office will start any new family law matter for $500 down.

HOW TO CHANGE CHILD CUSTODY IN NEVADA

Nevada Fathers are often unsure as to whether they can gain custody of their child when the mother already has primary custody.  Pursuant to Ellis v. Carucci, a father can change existing custody if 1) there has been a change of circumstances since the last custody order; and 2) a change of custody is in the best interests of the child.  


The Ellis standard for changed circumstances can be met by showing a major change, such as drug addiction, or by showing a collection of several smaller changed facts. When determining what is in the "best interests of the child," the Court must consider facts such as:

• The nature of the relationship between parent and child.
• The ability of a parent to meet the child's needs.
• Which parent is more likely to cooperate with the other.
• Maintaining a relationship between the child and his or her siblings.
• The mental and physical health of the Parents.
• Any history of domestic violence between the Parties.

When applying the Ellis test, Nevada Courts may not favor either parent because of gender. This is because a father's rights in Nevada are equal to those of a mother.

NEVADA RECOGNIZES A FATHER'S RIGHTS AS BEING EQUAL TO A MOTHER'S

Nevada recognizes the rights of a father as being equal to those of a mother.  Nevada law presumes that custody of a child should be shared equally between the two parents.  A Judge must, therefore, begin a case with the view point that custody should be shared.  In order to award anything other than joint custody, the Court must make a finding that joint custody is not in the child's best interests.


In spite of Nevada law, many Nevada fathers often are under the mis-belief that mothers have "all the rights."  The Ciciliano Law Office has gained primary custody of children for numerous fathers since our founding in 2006.  If you are a Nevada father, and you require legal representation, contact the Ciciliano Law Office immediately.
