LAS VEGAS DIVORCE:
Divorce affects over 50% of the population today. We understand that divorce is very traumatic for everyone involved. As a result, there is a tendency to rush the process by hiring one attorney to represent both sides, or trying to draft the documents without the assistance of an attorney. Doing this can be a very costly mistake. There are numerous issues involving division of assets, custody, alimony, and child support which need to be properly addressed and resolved. By properly addressing these issues, there will be less confusion and heartache in the future trying to interpret a poorly drafted or ambiguous order or decree. Some issues often overlooked, or misinterpreted, are issues involving Community Property, Pensions, QDRO's, Jurisdiction, and Modification of Prior Orders or Decrees. We can help explain these complicated issues and help you avoid pitfalls. R. D. Johnson & Associates offers a free half-hour consultation to answer all of your questions.

CUSTODY:

The courts presume that the best interest of the children is most likely met by having legal and physical custody of the children shared by both parents. However, there are numerous facts which would give rise to one parent receiving primary or sole custody of the children. Events involving domestic violence, drug abuse, or sexual crimes are key factors in overcoming the presumption for joint custody.

NEVADA CHILD SUPPORT:

Child Support is now determined by statute, and based upon the income of the parents. Under some irregular circumstances support may deviate from the statutory guidelines. Modification of Support is considered if there has been a substantial or material change in circumstances or income since the last order was entered.

ALIMONY:

Alimony is used by the Courts to allow both parties to enjoy a similar lifestyle after divorce, as the one enjoyed before the divorce. Alimony can be long term, but is usually used as a temporary award to allow the receiving party the opportunity to achieve self sufficiency. Factors to be considered are age, education, prior work experience, health, income, and duration of marriage.
