Nevada Supreme Court

Martinez v. Martinez (child Custody)

November 27, 2024140 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 73

Summary

The court held that transportation costs associated with visitation must be considered within the child-support adjustment framework and may not be imposed separately based solely on a parent's relocation. It reversed the transportation-cost allocation and remanded for findings under the governing regulation, while affirming the modified visitation schedule because the district court acted within its discretion, provided notice and an opportunity to be heard, and relied on substantial evidence. The court declined to consider unsupported attorney-fee arguments and declined to impose sanctions.
