What Nevada expects

Nevada defines joint physical custody by overnight percentage — roughly 40% of timeshare is the threshold, which makes the overnight count in your schedule legally consequential.

Governing law: NRS § 125C.0035.

The honest trade-off

The simplest 50/50 schedule to run and the easiest to explain to a child — but a week is a long time away from a parent for a young child, and one forgotten backpack can strand a school project for seven days. Most plans using it add a midweek dinner or call with the other parent.
