Who gets custody if both parents die but they are divorced and I live with my dad and my brother lives with my mom?
If a person is designated as the custodian in the parents' will(s), then that person is likely to be granted the custody. If however, there was no will, or no custodian specified in the will, then, then the court can appoint a custodian of its own choice. Usually, any of the relatives - uncles, aunts, grand parents, step parents, and even friends and strangers can apply for the custody. It is the responsibility of the court to choose the custodian. In case there are no will, or no custodian specified, and no petitions, then the court may put the children in foster care. This answer is actually independent of the marital status of the parents, and which child is living with whom at the time of the parents' death.

Do children of divorced parents ever get to choose to not go to visitation?
Sure, just as soon as they turn 18 they never have to see either parent again if they don't want to. Children under 18 are legally treated as a kind of extension of their parents, not necessarily as people in their own right. They could petition the court to modify the custody decree, but this is not likely to be granted unless the non-custodial parent poses an actual threat to them.
If you have joint custody can your teenager live with either parent?
The guidelines are basically the same in every state but obviously there are a few minor differences. Joint custody consists of Primary Custody & Secondary Custody. The parent with primary custody is who the child lives with & the other parent has secondary custody. Depending on the age of the child & the state in which they reside, the court may let them determine where they choose to live. Or if both parents agree on the child's decision then the child can live with either parent.

Can you get divorced first in the state of Nevada before custody of the kids is granted?
I live in Nevada and have seen enough divorces (who in Nevada hasn't?) to know that yes, you can get divorced before custody is decided in Nevada. In fact, most of the cases here (at least the ones I've seen) are settled this way and custody cases are usually heard seprately. But if you choose to do so, you can also have custody settled at the same time as the divorce.
