Michelle Rivero, Appellant v. Elvis Rivero, Respondent

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court withdrew its earlier opinion, denied rehearing, and issued a replacement opinion reversing and remanding the custody, child-support, and attorney-fee rulings while affirming the recusal and disqualification rulings. It defined joint physical custody as requiring each parent to have physical custody at least 40 percent of the time, required specific factual findings for custody and support decisions, and held that child-support modification generally requires a change in circumstances. Justice Pickering, concurring in part and dissenting in part, would have affirmed the family court's timeshare adjustment and support decision while agreeing with the ruling on disqualification.
