What this court handles
Family and juvenile matters defined by Nevada law
Under NRS 3.223, the family court has original, exclusive jurisdiction over proceedings under Nevada’s family-law chapters — including divorce (NRS 125), child support (NRS 125B), custody and visitation (NRS 125C), adoption (NRS 127), termination of parental rights (NRS 128), guardianship of minors (NRS 159A) and protection of children (NRS 432B) — and over matters otherwise within the jurisdiction of the juvenile court.
The statute also covers matters such as parentage, name changes for minors and judicial approval of a minor’s marriage. The Division’s judges hear both family and juvenile cases.
Divorce and custody
Dissolution of marriage, custody and visitation.
Support
Child support — often heard at the Child Support Center.
Children and juveniles
Adoption, guardianship of minors, child protection and juvenile matters.

Bail and Family Court: what applies and what doesn’t
Family cases don’t use bail bonds
Family Court is not where ordinary criminal bail is set or posted. Adult criminal cases start in a Justice Court or Municipal Court, and felony trials are heard in the Eighth Judicial District Court’s criminal departments. A family case — divorce, custody or support — does not involve a bail bond.
Under NRS 3.223(2), the family court and the justice court share jurisdiction over temporary and extended orders for protection against domestic violence. A protection order is a civil order; a domestic violence arrest is a separate criminal case in a criminal court.
Juvenile matters follow Nevada’s juvenile justice law, not the adult bail process; this guide does not describe juvenile detention or release procedures.
If an adult has been arrested — for example on a domestic violence charge connected to a family dispute — the criminal case and any bail are handled by the criminal court named on the paperwork. The Nevada premium for an adult criminal bail bond is 15% under NRS 697.300.
No bail in family cases
Divorce, custody and support cases do not involve bail.

Civil orders; the Justice Court shares this jurisdiction.

Six steps when a family case and an arrest overlap
Keep the two cases apart from the start
Most Family Court visitors never need a bail bond. These steps are for families where an arrest happens alongside a family case.
Stage 1 of 6
Separate the cases
The family case and the criminal case have different courts and numbers.
Family Court does not handle the criminal charge.
Stage 2 of 6
Identify the criminal court
Check the arrest or release paperwork.
Justice Court or Municipal Court usually starts the case.
Stage 3 of 6
Confirm custody
Use the detention facility’s inmate search.
Read the CCDC guide for the County facility.
Stage 4 of 6
Check any protection order
Its terms apply regardless of release.
Contact limits matter for bail conditions too.
Stage 5 of 6
Discuss a private bond
Ask Fast about the criminal case only.
Premium: 15% under NRS 697.300; no guaranteed release.
Stage 6 of 6
Keep both calendars
Attend every family and criminal date.
Missing one does not excuse the other.

Your first hearing and what happens next
Many families come without a lawyer
A large portion of Family Court cases are started and finished by people without a lawyer (pro se). The court points them to the Family Law Self-Help Center for forms and information; the center does not give legal advice.
The court publishes a video series for people representing themselves, covering mediation, motions, arguing your case and the importance of the final order, in English and Spanish.

Family cases do not involve jail booking
A family case does not put anyone in custody. If a related arrest happens, custody is handled by a detention facility — read the Clark County Detention Center (CCDC) for the Clark County Detention Center or browse the jail directory.
