Case Synopsis
The Nevada Court of Appeals held that, when evaluating appropriate home state jurisdiction in child custody disputes, the temporary or permanent nature of a child’s absence from the state must be assessed in light of the totality of the circumstances. By adopting the totality of the circumstances test, Nevada has fallen in line with a majority of states that have implemented the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (“UCCJEA”).
