Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

I have been divorced since 2002.She hase primary custody and I have 50/50 legal. She homeschools and I dont disagree with her on raising him that way. I disagree with the fact that she really isnt homeschooling him. She says she is but for 9 years I have asked for her to provide progress reports and have him tested to see where he is grade wise. I have recieved one stack of papers he completed and they were aweful. I think I need to have him taken to a learning center to see where he is at while he is on one of his visits. I also do not agree that he has never had his shots. since he is homeschooled he is not required. he also lives in a home where her boyfriend that she calls her husband, her two daughters, her sister and her boyfriend and thier kid all live. He has to share a room with his two sisters as well. I feel like over the years I have hired attorneys from vegas(thats where he lives) to take my case and help me but the very liberal laws in NV are working against me. I really need help. My son really needs me to step in for his future. HELP{

You cite a host of issues, and all may be addressed, although time and money are of course relevant.

You do not say where you are or what your custody/visitation is like. However, if there is no prohibition in your existing court orders, you can take the child for a test/evaluation if you wish. And if you discover the lack of progress you suspect, it would be grounds for a change of custody, or at least modification of the custodial/schooling orders. The case on point is Ellis, and the case is posted -- along with a great deal of other relevant information -- on the child custody page of our firm web site, at http://www.willicklawgroup.com/child_custody_visitation. You should also review the Rivero case, on the same page.

Your comments about other attorneys and "liberal laws" are a bit vague to make much out of, but the "best interest of the child" is the polestar for child custody cases, and there are ways to address legitimate concerns.

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.
