Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

child custody ordered from Nevada

If my Child custody order clearly states no contact other than supervised visits,The i receive a letter from my attorney from him.To my daughter.Isn't this a violation of the court order.E

Even though i had filed a PPO in 2006 due the possible release of him from prison.There is nothuing indicating that he can mail me or my kids anything.Only a box not marked from the judge who issued PPO.Left empty when it came to answering question to conrtact through mail to petitioner.meaning me(not my kids)!

Anyway,wouldn't it be stronger the custody order?It cleary states no contact other than suoervised visits.What can i do about this.He's a very dangerous man.

Re: child custody ordered from Nevada

file a show cause motion alleging that he violated the PPO (if it's still in effect) and prior court orders. however, if i read your message correctly, the letter didn't come directly from him, it was sent through a lawyer - so that's not direct contact by him. but, the envelope should have been addressed to you so you could use your discretion whether or not to show the kids.

ask your current family lawyer the best way to handle this and if he's a complete moron, find someone else - there are a ton out there - and i can refer you to someone great.

You can file a motion with the Judge for an order to show cause why he should not be held in contempt of court and/or to clarify the no contact order's meaning.
