Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
Child Custody Decree
My daughter's child custody decree was written in Texas. She and the father of the child never married. She now lives in Nevada married to another man and the father lives in California married to another woman. If our grandson goes to live with his dad in California can he go through the California courts to have the custody ordered modified, or does he have to go back through Texas?

Re: Child Custody Decree
He would have to go either to Texas or the state where the child has lived for the last 6 months.
Re: Child Custody Decree
Thank you for your inquiry.
At present date, the home state of the child would be Nevada. If your daughter wished to modify the Texas order she could modify custody in Texas after registering the order in Nevada.
If the child goes to California, after 6 months the father could modify custody there after registering the Texas order.
Issues of child support will depend on whether certain parents consent to jurisdiction outside of Texas.
Cases such as these require involvements of attorneys. If your daughter is seeking to do something wihtin the State of Nevada; contact my office to discuss your case in more detail.
