The Basics of Family Law Jurisdiction

A concept that is given too little attention in school and in practice, jurisdiction is the key determinant of whether a specific court can act at all and, if so, determines what the Court can actually decide.

Family Law has unique and different jurisdictional requirements from most other areas of law, which should be examined in almost every case.  Just because a Court can hear a divorce action does not mean that it can determine custody, support, or even some property issues. This program will cover these key concepts:

  • The Concept of Divisible Divorce
  • Divorce Jurisdiction, subject matter and personal
  • Child Custody – Initial and Modification Jurisdiction
  • Child Support – Initial and Modification Jurisdiction
  • Military Retirement Federal Jurisdiction
  • Family Court Jurisdiction
  • Speakers: Marshal Willick and Richard Crane of Willick Law Group
  • When: Thursday, February 23, 2023
  • Time: 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. – NOTE EXTENDED TIME FORMAT
  • Where: Online via Zoom
  • Offers: 1.5 hour of continuing legal education (CLE) for Nevada lawyers
  • Price for Live webcast (via Zoom): FREE/CCBA Member (2023) or $25/non-member
  • Price for recorded materials rental: $25/CCBA Member (2023) or $50/non-member
  • Notes: Recorded materials are provided via hyperlink in email. Please allow for up to 2 weeks (after date of original presentation) for delivery via email.
