Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
I am a 35 year old male who has been divorced for four years and have joint custody of our son. My x-wife recently moved my son from his current school to a school further away from my residence without consulting me or informing me untill after she had already enrolled him. I want to know if she was within her legal right or if she violated any rights I may have had in the decicion of where he could be going to school.

Mr. Manibog:
Your question is quite timely. You do not mention what the custodial orders say. Presuming you have joint legal custody (even if your ex has primary physical), the Nevada Supreme Court, in the very recent Rivero decision, has recently set out rules governing exactly how, and why, parents have exactly equal say in such decisions. So, yes, you are within your rights to challenge any such unilateral action.
That case, in its entirety, and much of the law governing legal and physical custody and visitation is set out on the Child Custody page of our firm website, at http://www.willicklawgroup.com/child_custody_visitation.
