Legal custody encompasses which parent will make major life decisions for the parties’ minor child (ren), i.e. what school the child will attend, what doctor the child will see, religious decisions, etc. 2.

1.1.1. Physical abuse resulting in death. An alleged act of child abuse may be charged as first-degree murder under Nevada law if the child dies from the abuse. 8 If the child survives but the alleged abuse was very grave, the charge may then be attempted murder. 9.

A minor is any person who is under the age of majority. Like most states, Nevada sets the age of majority at 18. So, the statutes discussed below only apply to the custodial parents/guardians of children who are under 18. Let's take a closer look at each of these Nevada statutes.
BUT a parent's liability is limited to $10,000 under 41.470. Liability under section 41.470 is joint and several. In other words, a victim may recover the full amount of damages from the parent and child collectively, or from either one of them individually.
So if a minor throws a brick through the window of a building, and the brick strikes and injures a person inside the building, the parent or guardian will be responsible for the cost of replacing the broken window and for any medical expenses the injured person may incur . BUT a parent's liability is limited to $10,000 under 41.470.
Under parental responsibility laws, which are on the books in most states, parents and/or legal guardians may find themselves financially responsible for certain kinds of damages caused by their minor children.

In Nevada, the standard for modifying child custody is “the best interest of the child standard.” Pursuant to this standard, Nevada courts have immense discretion to modify or even terminate a custody arrangement.
In Nevada, there are two types of custody. 1. Legal custody encompasses which parent will make major life decisions for the parties’ minor child (ren), i.e. what school the child will attend, what doctor the child will see, religious decisions, etc. 2. Physical custody encompasses which parent the child (ren) will live with.
When a parent is awarded Sole Custody that parent has complete control over the child, whether legally or physically.
In Nevada, a judge has discretion to determine that a child has attained sufficient, intelligence, and maturity to determine which parent the child will reside with.
Visitation is determined by court order. An order for visitation provides how much time per month a parent will see their children.
It depends. In Nevada, child support is usually established by the designation of custody granted by a court and the relative incomes of both parents. See N.R.S. 125B.070 and N.R.S. 125B.080.
Custody should be determined between the parents/parties. In the event the parents/parties cannot agree on a custody arrangement or visitation schedule, a court must intervene and make that decision for the parents/parties based on the best interests of the child.
Under NRS 200.508, Nevada law defines the crime of child abuse, neglect and endangerment as willfully causing a minor (a child under the age of 18) to suffer unjustifiable physical pain or mental suffering . The law recognizes five forms of abuse: physical abuse, mental abuse, sexual abuse or exploitation, neglect, or endangerment.

The legal definition of child abuse in Nevada is: “willfully caus [ing] a child who is less than 18 years of age to suffer unjustifiable physical pain or mental suffering [.]” 1.
As long as the child is unharmed, it carries the misdemeanor penalties of: up to six (6) months in jail and/or. up to $1,000 in fines.
19 Mental abuse is usually harder for Nevada prosecutors to prove precisely because it is not physical. 20.
1975: The Nevada Legislature passed laws governing the reporting and investigation of child abuse and the establishment of the Nevada Central Registry. 59. 1985: The Nevada Legislature passed the Child Protection Act, outlining new stringent requirements for the welfare division. 60.
The following are places that the Nevada Supreme Court has recognized as “traditionally associated with a legitimate expectation of privacy”: a private bedroom, hospital room, restroom, and a “young ladies’ dressing room.” 10
“Under Nevada law, to recover for the tort of intrusion, a plaintiff must allege ‘1) an intentional intrusion (physical or otherwise); 2) on the solitude or seclusion of another; 3) that would be highly offensive to a reasonable person.’ ” 1.
Brackbill, a case involving Plaintiff prisoner with Hepatitis C, prison officials were not found to be grossly negligent for failing to provide Plaintiff with treatment because they regularly monitored his bilirubin levels and it was the opinion of various medical doctors that Plaintiff did not need to be treated. 5
In Nevada, “‘gross negligence is a manifestly smaller amount of watchfulness and circumspection than the circumstances require of a prudent man’…and the difference between ordinary negligence and gross negligence is that they ‘differ in the degree of intention.’” 1 “Gross negligence is substantially higher in magnitude than ordinary negligence…and is manifested by the absence of even slight diligence or want of even scant care, or a heedless and palpable violation of legal duty respecting the rights of others.” 2 “‘A party is “grossly negligent” if he acts or fails to act when he knows or has reason to know facts which could lead a reasonable person to realize that his conduct not only creates unreasonable risk of bodily harm to others but also involves high probability that substantial harm will result.’” 3
Conversion is defined as ‘a distinct act of dominion wrongfully exerted over another’s personal property in denial of, or inconsistent with his title or rights therein or in derogation, exclusion, or defiance of such title or rights.’ 1 In addition, it “is an act of general intent, which does not require wrongful intent and is not excused by care, good faith or lack of knowledge.” 2
Relevant Facts: Defendant Gesmundo secretly videotaped Plaintiff abusing his show animals over the course of several days. 7 Defendant subsequently showed the video footage to various persons, some of whom commented publicly that Plaintiff beat his animals and abused them. 8 Plaintiff maintained “that his actions depicted on the tape were a ‘proper’ and ‘necessary’ manner of treating these animals.” 9
While the Nevada Supreme Court has yet to address whether the single publication rule applies to libelous statements published on the internet, it will likely follow Ninth Circuit precedent and conclude that the rule should apply to internet postings. 12 Under the single publication rule, a cause of action exists per edition of a magazine or newspaper that publishes the defamatory material, rather than per each individual magazine or newspaper distributed. 13 In Oja v. U.S. Army Corps of Eng’rs, the Ninth Circuit found that internet postings available to the general public are the “functional equivalent of traditional print media” because “ [o]nce information has been published on a website or print media, there is no further act required by the publisher to make the information available to the public.” 14 Therefore, a single posting on the internet, although accessible by numerous people at countless points in time, nevertheless constitutes a single publication. Note, however, that the single publication rule does not apply in cases where access to the defamatory information is limited because it is stored in a data bank and only supplied to those specifically requesting the information. 15
Nevada child support laws have just been overhauled and the new changes have been put into effect as of February 1, 2020.
The revised statute explicitly states that an order pertaining to the payment of child support shall terminate once the child reaches 18 years old or, if still in high school, the order ends upon the child graduating high school or turning 19 years old. If more than one child is included in a child support order and the oldest child reaches 18 years of age or graduates high school, then a motion to modify the order must be filed to adjust the total amount of support for the unemancipated minor children still remaining under the order.
However, if the parties have joint physical custody, child support is determined by calculating each parent’s income ...
As an example, if the obligor earned $8,000 GMI, child support for one child would be calculated at $1,440 (18% of GMI) per month, which would then be capped at $876 per month, according to the adjustments made in July 2019.
There are no longer statutory caps on child support. Prior to February 1, pursuant to NRS 125B.070, child support was determined by considering gross monthly income and applying a “presumptive maximum amount.” For example, in the case of primary physical custody for one child, the obligor, (i.e. the party paying child support), would pay 18% of their gross monthly income to the obligee (i.e. the party receiving child support), who was designated as the primary physical custodian. (i.e. 25% for 2 children, 29% for 3 children, and 31% for 4 children). As an example, if the obligor earned $8,000 GMI, child support for one child would be calculated at $1,440 (18% of GMI) per month, which would then be capped at $876 per month, according to the adjustments made in July 2019.

Criminal cases are cases that are initiated by government officials. Generally, civil cases can result in money damages or other similar relief. Criminal cases can result in prison time or monetary fines. In some criminal cases, defendants have the right to have a lawyer appointed to represent them at no cost.

To assist judges in determining what custody arrangement is in the best interest of the child, Nevada law provides a number of factors for a judge to consider, including: the child's wishes, if the child is of sufficient age and capacity to form an intelligent preference.
Nevada Child Custody Laws in a Nutshell. When it comes to child custody, Nevada has joined a growing number of states that are trying to reduce the conflict that often accompanies custody cases . To that end, when parents are separated or getting divorced, Nevada courts try to ensure that the minor children have frequent association ...
Among other things, Nevada parenting plans address the logistics of how a non-custodial parent will spend time with a child.
Visitation Rights in Nevada. During the period that a parent doesn't have physical custody, that parent is entitled to visitation (parenting time) with the child. This is in keeping with the concept of maximizing contact between the child and both parents.
In addressing joint legal custody, Nevada statutes presume that this status would be in the child's best interest if the parents agree to it, or a parent has demonstrated an attempt to establish a meaningful relationship with the child.
You can request that the court modify an existing custody or visitation order. You'd do this by filing a motion (written request) with the court. Remember, however, that courts place a premium on providing children with stability. So you must prove to the court that the requested modification is in the best interests of the child. (Nevada Revised Statutes § 125C.0045 (2).)
Nevada law also has a preference for " joint physical custody .". In this scenario, the child lives with each parent at least 40% of the year.
