POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
LEGAL ARGUMENT
When determining physical custody of a child, the sole consideration of the court is the best
interest of the minor child. In determining the best interest of the child, the court shall consider:
a) The wishes of the child if the child is of sufficient age and capacity to form an intelligent
preference as to his or her custody; b) Any nomination of a guardian for the child by a parent; c)
Which parent is more likely to allow the child to have frequent associations and a continuing
relationship with the noncustodial parent; d) The level of conflict between the parents; e) The
ability of the parents to cooperate to meet the needs of the child; f) The mental and physical
health of the parents; g) The physical, developmental and emotional needs of the child; h) The
nature of the relationship of the child with each parent; i) The ability of the child to maintain a
relationship with any sibling; j) Any history of parental abuse or neglect of the child or a sibling
of the child; k) Whether either parent or any other person seeking custody has engaged in an act
of domestic violence against the child, a parent of the child or any other person residing with the
Page 3 of 7 - Motion for Temporary Custody
child; and l) Whether either parent or any other person seeking custody has committed any act
of abduction against the child or any other child. NRS 125C.0035.

the best interest of the child if: 1) the parents have so agreed; or 2) a parent has
demonstrated, or attempted to demonstrate but had his or her efforts frustrated by the
other parent, an intent to establish a meaningful relationship with the child. NRS
125C.0025. A court may award one parent primary physical custody if it determines that joint
physical custody is not in the best interest of the child. NRS 125C.003.

the guidelines established by the Administrator of the Division of Welfare and Supportive
