EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE ORDERS IN NEVADA
Nevada courts can issue an emergency protective order immediately — sometimes within hours of your request — without requiring the other party to be present. An emergency protective order can require the abuser to leave the family home, prohibit any contact with you or your children, and establish temporary custody of your children with you.
EXTENDED PROTECTIVE ORDERS IN NEVADA
After an emergency protective order is issued you can petition for an extended protective order that can last up to two years. At the hearing for the extended order both parties have the opportunity to present evidence and testimony. Hauser Family Law prepares thoroughly for these hearings to ensure the strongest possible presentation of the evidence supporting your need for continued protection.
HOW DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AFFECTS DIVORCE AND CUSTODY IN NEVADA
Evidence of domestic violence is a significant factor in Nevada divorce and custody proceedings. Nevada law requires courts to consider domestic violence when determining child custody — a finding of domestic violence creates a presumption against awarding custody to the abusive parent. Hauser Family Law coordinates your protective order case with any divorce or custody proceedings to ensure your safety and your legal rights are fully protected.
