Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
3 days ago i was served custody papers by my kids dad. he lives in CA. I live in NV. I have all 3 of our kids here in NV with me and i always have.... There dad was granted Temporary custody. and im not sure how. also when he came to NV to serve me at that point since he was granted temp. custody, wouldnt that have been his chance to take my kids from me? and if he didnt, Can I get in trouble? The paper work says I am not allowed to remove my kids from The state or county but me and my kids reside here in Nv.

Sounds messed up in multiple ways, but you do not supply enough information to see if the court in CA ever had any jurisdiction; your "always have" comment makes me believe that maybe the matter is jurisdictional. For an explanation, see the article titled "The Basics of Family Law Jurisdiction," on the Published Works page of our firm web site, at http://www.willicklawgroup.com/published_works. And folks are not allowed to "serve" court papers themselves.
Obviously, something is afoot, however. You should probably seek consultation with an appropriate family law specialist. If you decide you would like to discuss this with one of the attorneys of this firm, please take a look at our consultation policies, procedures, and costs, at http://www.willicklawgroup.com/consultation_policies.
