A bigger question has to do with the father's involvement and whether or not he will object to the move. In California, we have a "Caregiver's Affidavit" which gives your sister some powers over your daughter, if you sign it, but Nevada does not have to accept that. Best would be if your sister would set up legal guardianship over your daughter so that she could have full legal authority to act over your daughter. Good luck!
