- Q. If the other parent misses visits to build back a bond do I still have to send my daughter for summer??
- A: Although I understand your concerns, it is important to follow the Court Order as it pertains to the visitations. If he is in violation of the Court Order and not attempting to build the parent/child bond by coming out to Vegas, then it would be up to you to file a motion with the court advising of his violation of the order and your hesitation to allow summer visits.
- Q. Living in Georgia prior to 11-1-2023, I moved to Las Vegas with my now 19 month old daughter, my mother and step-father.
- A: If Georgia has jurisdiction of the child, and you have a previous custody decree, leaving the state without either the parent's consent or a court order giving you permission to relocate is not a good idea and can possibly have negative repercussion for you . It is best to file a motion with the court stating your reasons for the relocation request.
- Q. If i move out of state while pregnant to deliver in another state is this seen as frustrating the relationship w/ father
- A: legally speaking, you are able to move out state while pregnant. During pregnancy Nevada does not have custody over the child. Custody jurisdiction will be established where the child is born.
