Modifying Child Custody & Other Orders in Nevada
Nevada law allows individuals to request modifications to child custody, child support, visitation, and alimony orders. When parties agree on the modifications, legally instituting them is relatively simple. However, when parties do not agree, modifications require a party to petition for them.
Navigating the legal framework of these modifications can be complex. It involves understanding the Nevada Revised Statutes relevant to family law, revisiting prior court orders, and potentially presenting substantial evidence of the change in circumstances. Our attorneys work meticulously to assess each client's unique situation, providing strategic advice that aligns with Nevada's legal standards to achieve the most favorable outcome.
Generally, this petition must provide evidence of:
- A significant life change.
- How that change necessitates a modified order.
Examples of significant life changes that might call for a modification include:
- Job loss or new employment.
- A spouse remarrying.
- A child’s new medical or educational needs.
- A parent that would like to move with a child.
- A parent who has neglected or failed to fulfill their duties to a child.
It is important to state that Nevada courts only approve modifications involving a child if the change clearly serves the child’s best interests.
Seeking & challenging a modification is often difficult, as it requires parties to gather a great deal of documentation and navigate specific legal processes. This is why retaining a trusted divorce modification attorney in Las Vegas, like ours at Leavitt Law Firm, can be advantageous.

Enforcement of Family Law Orders
Under Nevada law, individuals can request that courts enforce custody, child support, and alimony orders, as well as protective orders for domestic violence.
Taking this legal action can allow people to:
- Recover child support or alimony payments.
- Rectify issues with parenting plans.
- Seek further protection.
Enforcing court orders is essential for the stability and security of family members, especially children. It ensures that financial support and parental responsibilities are maintained as per the court's rulings. Courts take non-compliance seriously and have several methods to enforce these orders, including wage garnishment for overdue payments and imposing legal penalties for repeated violations. Our team at Leavitt Law Firm assists clients in gathering necessary documentation and presenting a compelling case in court to ensure justice is served effectively.
