Child Custody Divorce Child Custody
If the victim of the nonconsensual online publication of intimate photos is involved in a child custody dispute, s/he may use evidence of this type of misconduct to establish abuse or harassment by his/her former spouse or lover. When determining child custody, the court’s primary consideration is to decide what is in the best interests of the child.
Nev. Rev. Stat. § 125.480
“4. In determining the best interest of the child, the court shall consider and set forth its specific findings concerning, among other things:
In such a case, if it is not possible for the court to determine which party is the primary physical aggressor, the presumption created pursuant to subsection 5 applies to both parties. If it is possible for the court to determine which party is the primary physical aggressor, the presumption created pursuant to subsection 5 applies only to the party determined by the court to be the primary physical aggressor.”1
Nev. Rev. Stat. § 33.018
“1. Domestic violence occurs when a person commits one of the following acts against or upon the person’s spouse or former spouse, any other person to whom the person is related by blood or marriage, any other person with whom the person is or was actually residing, any other person with whom the person has had or is having a dating relationship, any other person with whom the person has a child in common, the minor child of any of those persons, the person’s minor child or any other person who has been appointed the custodian or legal guardian for the person’s minor child:

↑ Back to top Divorce
Due to Nevada’s ‘no-fault’ divorce policy,1 evidence of spousal misconduct such as the nonconsensual publication of intimate photos taken during the marriage will not be taken into consideration during divorce proceedings. In Nevada, divorce can be granted because of “incompatibility,” “[i]nsanity existing for two years prior to the commencement of the action,” and if the “husband and wife have lived separate and apart for one year without cohabitation.”2
Nev. Rev. Stat. § 125.010
“Divorce from the bonds of matrimony may be obtained for any of the following causes:
3. Incompatibility.”3
Note, however, that Nevada does grant divorce for insanity, in which case, the insane spouse would technically be at-fault for the divorce. ↩
