Family Law Attorney in Summerlin

Family Law Services for Summerlin Families

Our family attorneys represent Summerlin clients in matters involving:

• Divorce
• Child Custody & Visitation
• Alimony/Spousal Support
• Post-Divorce Modifications
• Adoption
• Paternity
• Domestic Violence
• Guardianships
• Legal Separation
• Mediation
• Prenuptial Agreements

Divorce and legal separation may require decisions about property division, parenting arrangements, and financial responsibilities. Child custody, visitation, paternity, and guardianship matters involve legal rights and responsibilities concerning children, while adoption establishes a new legal family relationship.

We also address requests to modify existing orders when circumstances change, domestic violence issues affecting a family law case, and prenuptial agreements created before marriage. Mediation offers a structured setting for discussing disputed issues, although the appropriate legal path depends on the facts, prior orders, and willingness of the parties to reach an agreement.

Family-Owned Representation Tailored to Your Priorities

Founder Dennis Myron Leavitt works alongside his sons, Frank A. Leavitt and Benjamin J. Leavitt. We approach each matter with compassion and provide guidance tailored to the client’s family, priorities, and legal goals rather than treating every dispute the same way.

We consider negotiation or mediation when either offers a practical, cost-conscious path. If an agreement can’t resolve every issue, we can advocate for our clients in court proceedings. Matters involving Summerlin families may proceed through the Family Division of the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County, and our familiarity with Nevada family law courts informs how we prepare for each stage.

What to Expect from the Family Law Process

We begin by listening to your story and discussing your legal goals, options, and what to expect from the process. That first discussion identifies the immediate legal issue, your priorities, any existing court orders or agreements, and the next decision that needs to be made.

Family law disputes can affect your children, finances, property, and future decision-making. We account for those stakes when discussing negotiation, court proceedings, and the practical effects of each option.
