Domestic Violence Arrests
Nevada law requires a police officer to make an
arrest, unless mitigating circumstances exist,
where the police officer has probable cause to
believe that that the person to be arrested has
committed a domestic violence (battery) within
the preceding 24 hours.  This law requires police
officers to make an arrest(s) during domestic
violence investigations, even where the victim is
resistant to the aggressors arrest and/or the
situation has quieted.

Domestic Violence Law
Blacks Law Dictionary defines domestic
violence as violence between members of a
household.  Domestic violence laws synthesize
various areas of criminal law into one category. 
This category of prohibited acts focuses on the
relationship between the aggressor and the victim.

Domestic Violence Penalties
Nevada Domestic Violence penalties are based on a
minimum-maximum system and become more severe
based on the nature of your Domestic Violence
offense.   For instance, the penalties for your
first Nevada Domestic Violence offense are not as
severe as the penalties you would face for a
second or third Domestic Violence offense.

Collateral Consequences of a DV Conviction
Family courts are required to hold an
penitentiary hearing where the person seeking
custody is alleged to have committed an act of
domestic violence against the child, a parent of
the child or any other person residing with the
child.  If the Family Court determines that an
act of domestic violence has been committed, this
Creates a rebut table presumption that sole or
joint custody of the child by the perpetrator of
the domestic violence is not in the best interest
of the child.
