Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

Child Custody and Visitation

I have primary Custody of my son.

I lived in Las Vegas at that time.

But last visit to his mother in

N. Manchester IN,she sued for custody, stating bogus charges,

and kept him illegally.

The judge reprimanded her lawyer,

since Nevada is the home state,

with jurisdiction, but her lawyer

stated special circumstances, which

were not true.

The judge however requested we

do a parental agreement, which was done. Which included where

he would live - joint-custody, with his mom, and

my vistations and contacts with him. Since then she has thwarted

my contacts with him via email,

and when I last spoke with him

she used HIS email to advise me

he would not be visiting me.

I have not had the chance to

have him visit me as of yet,

as I have moved and remarried

in Cleveland OH. What can do?

She is stating the parenting agreement is void, and she does not have to abide by it, because

i have moved to cleveland , without

notifying nevada court. I have moved to cleveland by myself, so

i do not see the connection.

Also we have another son who

decided to go live with his mother

too because he did not want to move to cleveland. She had almost immediately put him in juvenile detention, where is for

now.

Re: Child Custody and Visitation

If Nevada has retained jurisdiction you should file a motion to enforce your rights there. If Nevada has relinquished jurisdiction you will need to file in the state where the child is living with his mother.
