Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

Generally, Nevada law requires attorney candidates to earn a post-graduate degree from an ABA-approved law school. From high school to earning a license to pracice law takes about seven years, three of which are generally spent in law school. Thereafter, the candidate must sit for and pass the Nevada Bar Examination. Once a lawyer, it may take several years before that lawyer is competent enough to practice law without the supervision of a more experienced lawyer. Accordingly, there is not a ten-minute answer that could supplant all of the education and on-the-job training that a lawyer could present in assisting you with your case. Notwithstanding, in short, you ask for full custody without a lawyer by convincing the judge that the relevant facts and associated legal analysis support your position that it would be in the best interest of your daughter to have her mother's custody rights taken from her and given entirely to you. From a practical standpoint, however, you will likely have a much better chance with the assistance of a lawyer than you would have without one (which is not to say that you will obtain full custody with or without a lawyer). So, you should ask yourself how important it is to you and your daughter for you to obtain full custody? Then ask yourself: if I could increase my chances of obtaining full custody of my daughter by seeking the assistance of a lawyer, is it worth it to me and my daughter? Hopefully, your answers to these questions will guide you. Please take no offense, but this question is similar to asking: how do I perform heart surgery on myself without seeking the assistance of a heart surgeon. The answer is simple: it's generally not a good idea.
