The resources on this page contain valuable information about coparenting and are specifically related to families that are coparenting in Nevada.
Under Nevada law, a presumption exists that unless one parent is proven unfit, the parties will share “Joint Legal Custody” over the children. That means, both parents will participate in the major life decisions regarding the children’s lives. In the state of Nevada, when a child’s parents are married, it is assumed under the law that the mother’s husband is the child’s legal and biological father.
Decisions on child custody will have a profound impact a child’s life. Parents should to work together to create a parenting plan and visitation schedule, rather than having the judge make the important decisions that affect their family. Parents know their own situation and their children best and can try to come to a custody agreement that makes sense. If a judge has to decide on custody, the best interests of the child standard is used.
