The term “Parenting Plan” is widely used for a number of different purposes in Nevada’s Family Courts.

The Nevada Supreme Court’s Administrative Office of the Courts is responsible to publish the table used to determine a child support obligation for those earning less than $1,595 per month.

Quite often in custody cases, a client gets nailed to the wall for something they said in a text or social media post. Sometimes they don’t. What makes the difference?

I was recently asked an intriguing question: “My name is Nancy Edwards “Doe.” (The last names are replaced for privacy reasons.) My ex-husband dated and recently married a woman named Nancy “Edwards” and now goes by Nancy E. “Doe.”

You want to change your name—your first name, last name, middle name, or any combination of the three—the answer is, “usually yes.”

Child custody issues are magnified this time of year. There are the arguments over who gets what days, what traditions are continued and how to divvy up all the extended family parties.

Most Nevadans I know don’t know this, but state law specifically requires employers to allow employees to take time off to go vote.
