Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

She will have custody until the baby's father petitions the court for a custody and visitation order. She can have him sign an "Affidavit of Paternity" which, if they both sign, is as legally strong as a court order. She will want to contemplate the custody because she cannot get a child support order without him also seeking at least a visitation order.

In Nevada, an unmarried mother is the legal custodian, per Nevada law, until a court enters an order adjudicating (deciding) custody.
