Practice Areas
Divorce
Nevada is a community property state, which means that assets and debts acquired during a marriage are generally divided equally at divorce. The firm handles contested and uncontested Nevada divorces, including property division, determination of spousal support, and resolution of all other issues that must be addressed to dissolve a marriage.
Nevada allows divorce on no-fault grounds, and the state has relatively streamlined procedures compared to some other jurisdictions, though contested matters involving significant assets or disputed custody can be complex proceedings regardless of the state’s general procedures.
Child Custody
Custody cases determine where a child lives and how decisions about the child’s upbringing are made. Nevada courts use the best interests of the child standard to determine custody arrangements, considering factors including each parent’s relationship with the child, the ability of each parent to provide a stable home, and in appropriate cases, the preference of the child.
Dawn Lozano is specifically noted by clients for her focus on the wellbeing of children in custody matters. Clients describe her as an attorney who genuinely prioritizes child welfare in the decisions she advises clients to pursue.
The firm handles initial custody orders and post-divorce custody modifications when circumstances have changed since the original order was entered.
Child Support
Child support in Nevada is calculated using statutory guidelines that account for each parent’s income and other factors. The firm handles initial child support orders, modifications when financial circumstances change, and enforcement of existing support obligations.
Estate Planning
The firm’s estate planning practice covers wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and other documents that direct the management and distribution of a person’s assets. For Las Vegas clients, estate planning often involves real estate, business interests, and retirement accounts accumulated over working careers in the city’s major industries.
Wills
The firm prepares last wills and testaments for clients who want to direct how their assets are distributed at death, name executors to manage the estate, and where applicable, designate guardians for minor children. Nevada has specific requirements for a valid will, and improperly drafted wills can create problems during the probate process.
Guardianship
The firm handles guardianship matters for clients who need to establish legal authority to manage the affairs of an incapacitated person. Guardianship proceedings in Nevada are overseen by the courts and require formal documentation and judicial approval.
