Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: Mom wants visitation with kids after 6 years of no contact

You will need to file for an order in Cal letting you file in Nevada. The court here can make an order that since none of the parties live here any more, child custody may be modified in another state. Contact me if you require further assistance

Re: Mom wants visitation with kids after 6 years of no contact

If possible obtain a certified copy of the California custody order. You should file the appropriate paper work with the Nevada Court. Since both parents and the children are in Nevada the court there has jurisdiction. You would not need permission from the California court.

Re: Mom wants visitation with kids after 6 years of no contact

I disagree with the Calif. lawyer. I believe that since everyone lives here Nevada will assume jurisdiction without further Calif. orders. You would need to localize the Calif decree and file a Motion for custody and visitation. We have mandatory mediation in Las Vegas which may allow you to resolve this without the Court making a schedule for you. You would need to explain why you have waited 6 years to enforce your rights.
