NEVADA Part 13

Joint Physical Custody is defined as the parents sharing time with the children.  The timeshare between the parties must be a minimum of 60/40.  While the parties may define joint physical custody however they choose in a stipulation, the court will use the legal definition if the matter is in front of it or it the matter returns to it for modification.  The court will count days, not hours.  The court will also not make any differential between wake and sleeping hours, school and quality time, etc.  Thus, if you are trying to establish that you have joint custody, your goal is to show that the children are in your care at least 142 days per year.
