2018As noted above, even under the changed circumstances analysis, Castle's provision that pre- decision evidence of domestic violence can be considered only if the parties or the court were unaware of its existence or the extent of the offending conduct applies only to limit what the party seeking a custody change can present to demonstrate that changed circumstances supporting modification exist. 9 Castle, 120 Nev. at 105 , 86 P.3d at 1047 . °This is not to suggest that preexisting evidence can never be used offensively by a party seeking to show custody modification is in the child's best inter

2016See e.g., Coury v. Robison, 115 Nev. 84, 88-89 , 976 P.2d 518, 520-21 (1999) (stating that conditions that are not void as a matter of law may become void in particular circumstances if changed circumstances so dictate). 2 2Although Coury's circumstances are not the same as those in this case, the arbitrator was correct that the changed circumstances doctrine is a possibility in Nevada, and thus he did not manifestly disregard the law on unconscionability.

2016Although McMonigle generally prohibits consideration of events preceding the most recent custody order from being used to establish a change of circumstances, McMonigle, 110 Nev. at 1408 , 887 P.2d at 743 , there is an exception for evidence of domestic violence that has not previously been presented to the court, Castle, 120 Nev. at 105 , 86 P.3d at 1047 (concluding that the changed circumstances doctrine does not bar the presentation of evidence of domestic violence when a party or the court was unaware of the evidence at the time of the previous custody order).

2016Additionally, no substantial changed circumstances were required for the SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA 2 (0) I94Th court to review custody as neither party had primary custody of the child, Riven, 125 Nev. at 430 , 216 P.3d at 227 , and regardless, appellant's relocation to Japan was a sufficient change in circumstances to warrant a review of custody, Hayes v. Gallacher, 115 Nev. 1, 7 , 972 P.2d 1138, 1141 (1999) (proposed relocation constituted changed circumstances and justified reexamining custody).
