Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

Re: grandparent custody

Yes. It can be tough because your rights are derived from your son and unless she is shown to be an unfit mother, you are in for a fight. I had a case just like this and we ended up with the son having primary custody while living with his parents and the girlfriend ended up moving to Texas to live with her sister.

Your grandson's mother sounds as though she is in worse shape. We can also do a guardianship to accomplish the job.

Re: grandparent custody

There are a couple different ways you can approach your situation. If your son lives with you primarily you can have him petition the court for primary custody of the child. This effectively puts you in the position of primary care giver through your son's custodial status as the father.

If your son is not living with you you have the ability to petition for a guardianship which puts you in the position as temporary custodial care giver of the child.

I would want to discuss your situation with you in more detail. Contact my office for a free consultation at your convenience.
