Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

I am a grandpaent and my son has physical custody of his 3 children. His ex-wife will not allow him to take the children out of the state for a shrt vacation because the decree says he can not leave the state(NV) I feel this is only for moving. She won't budge and I was wondering if as a grandparent if I could take them on a short vacation with my sons permission. They want to go to seaworld.

You are correct that the limitation is only for a permanent move and not a short vacation. The Decree should state how much he gets for the summer vacation and he should give her the appropriate notice and then either you or your son take the children to Sea World. The Mom is entitled to only notice and not veto. This advise presumes that the Decree of Divorce does not contradict and if the Decree of Divorce states something different, the Decree and not this advice should be followed.

If you would like a meeting to further discuss if she does not allow it, you may email me at [email protected] for an appointment.
