Family Law

Hire an Experienced and Compassionate Family Law Attorney

While the area of family law includes divorce, this section addresses paternity, child custody and child support matters, whether incident to divorce or following the separation of unmarried couples.

Divorcing or separating from a partner you have children with can be much more complicated than divorcing or separating when there are no children involved. If you and your ex-partner have minor children, you should meet with a lawyer to discuss your paternity, child custody and child support options.

Hire a compassionate child custody Attorney to put your Children First after a Break-up

Did you know there are two types of “custody?” Legal custody is the ability of the parents to make decisions about the child such as schooling, medical care, and extracurricular activities. Physical custody is the ability of the parents to spend physical time with their child. There are different types of physical custody/visitation options and outcomes for parents. The court’s primary concern is the “best interest of the child.” To that end, Nevada courts assess a number of factors to decide the custody of a child. Don’t wait to establish your parental rights following a separation. Goulet Law can also assist in modifying child custody orders.
