• Child Custody and Visitation

• Guardianship
  When your family member or loved one is no longer able to make decisions about their own care, the situation can be challenging and emotional. You can gain some peace of mind, however, by gaining guardianship of your loved one. This can allow you to make decisions regarding their medical care, living situation, and even their finances.
• Spousal Support
  Alimony, also known as spousal support or spousal maintenance, is a type of financial support that one spouse pays to the other spouse during and/or after a divorce so that the spouse who receives alimony can maintain a reasonable standard of living. Contrary to popular belief, any spouse can give or receive alimony. A judge's order for alimony will be based on the proven need of one spouse to receive support and the other spouse's ability to pay support.
• Legal Separation
  Unlike a divorce, a legal separation does not end your marriage, allowing you to live apart but remain legally married. A court order outlines the responsibilities of each spouse during the time you and your spouse are living apart.
• Annulment
  An annulment dissolves a marriage but unlike a divorce, an annulment treats the marriage as if it never happened. You can only get a marriage annulled in Nevada for the following reasons: there was a lack of understanding or insanity by you or your spouse, you were induced to marry through lies, the marriage was illegal due to consanguinity, or you or your spouse was married to another person at the time of your marriage.
• Child Abuse
  According to the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act, close to 1,000,000 American children become victims of abuse and neglect per year. No matter where you are from or what circumstances you are involved in, there are few things more frightening and upsetting than suspecting that your child is being abused or neglected by a former or current spouse, another family member, or someone else.
