Nevada has no "age of discretion" but a child's wishes may be taken into account if the child is determined to be of "suitable age and discretion." In my experience, 7 is too young, really -- the dispute remains between the parents, and the question is WHY the child has the attitude he does -- which can cut either way. For background, the relevant statutes, etc., see http://willicklawgroup.com/child-custody-and-visitation/. For a more detailed review of your facts, circumstances, and options, schedule a consultation with a family law specialist.
