At the Henderson law offices of Smith Jain Stutzman, we help families reach agreements regarding child custody and visitation plans that are tailored to their needs.

Involved In A Child Custody Dispute?

Most child custody disputes are settled through mandatory family law mediation. It is important that you are fully prepared to discuss your concerns and goals, so you can protect your rights and find a plan that works. We will prepare you for mediation, teach you about negotiation, and assist you in identifying the issues that matter most. If you know what you want when you go to mediation, you will be enabled to reach your goals regarding custody and parenting time.

We will also discuss the components of a comprehensive parenting plan. From the moment of your initial separation, we will make initial motions for temporary orders. If the court needs more information to make a ruling, we will protect your rights at the associated hearing. The steps involved in resolving child support issues are similar.

Over the years, the law regarding child custody has evolved. As recently as August 2009, the Nevada Supreme Court redefined the elements of child custody. There are also significant child custody jurisdiction issues in Nevada. We will help you understand the law as it stands today, so you can be prepared.
