Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

False preten

I recently was divorced from wife of two years. We have a two year old son together. I have made numerous attempts to visit my little boy over that time and have been denied all but 3 times in the last year and under supervision only(I moved back to my hometown to regroup and get back on my feet). After the initial custody hearing the judge asked her attorney to write up the papers and have them filed. He worded the papers in such a way that it gave her the right of refusal but the judge never ruled that way.

Also, we had a written deal with her parents to buy their house from them. After we seperated and before the divorce she sold the house yet claimed she received no money from the sale. She was aked to bring bank statements to the hearing yet did not bring the correct ones. Yet since the filing of the papers has bought a new house and new car. Saying all of that to ask these questions:

1. Can i sue for my half of the house sale? How do I go about that sort of thing?

2. Can I sue her and/or her attorney for emotional damage/pain/anguish or the such for the denial of visitation?

Thank you for yor help.

Re: False preten

In order to answer your question about the house, I would need to know what the Decree of Divorce stated about the house and how the proceeds were to be handled. You cannot sue her for emotional anguish for denying you visitation but you can seek to modify the Decree so that she doesn't have the ability to deny you visitation. You can bring a motion to find her in contempt if she thereafter denies you visitation.
