Nevada Supreme Court

Destin v. Dist. Ct. (handwerker-Lamaster) (child Custody)

August 28, 2025141 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 42

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court denied a petition for a writ of mandamus challenging the district court’s placement of a minor child with a paternal aunt. The Court held that the district court properly considered the Department of Family Services’ placement recommendation, made adequate findings, and did not manifestly abuse its discretion, so no extraordinary relief was warranted.
