Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

Re: custody rights of father

Unfortunately, Nevada does not really consider adultery in divorces and child custody. The only consideration there is that if the man has a criminal record or drug abuse, that will be considered. Don't move out of the house unless you take the children with you. If you are seeking only 1/2 the week, the judges now are trending toward that rather than just the weekends so I believe your odds are very good.

If that is the case though, you will still have to pay child support, the amount being 25% of your two salaries or incomes.

Re: custody rights of father

Nevada is a no fault divorce state which means that your wife's extra marital affairs will not be taken into consideration. When looking at custody, the court looks at who has historically taken care of the children, e.g. taken them to the doctor, attended parent teacher conferences, etc., and the court looks at the parties' respective work schedules. Some Judges favor joint physical custody (50/50) custody, some don't. Therefore, you should get an attorney familiar with the Judges so that you can file a peremptory challenge if necessary.
