Re: Child custody
You always have a right to petition a Court to determine custody issues regarding your children as their natural mother.
In your situation, your success in establishing custody in Nevada will probably involve several steps. One, it sounds like you should establish divorce proceedings. This would allow you to petition a Court for primary physical custody.
Second, if you have some form of separation agreement you may have to institute any domestic petitions in Georgia.
Contact my office if you would like to speak to an attorney. We offer free initial consultations and could advise you on a proper course of action.
