Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

I was granted permanent co-guardianship and custody of my grandson with my now ex-husband. It has come time to complete the annual report and I refuse to make it look like he and I still live together. I no longer live in the marital residence but he and the grandson does. I want to give up co-guardianship and give custody back to my daughter. Ex-husband does not. I don't have money for an attorney. What can I do? Do I need an attorney to do this? What do I do about the annual report?

You have asked quite a few questions. You should be truthful on your annual report. You do not indicate if your daughter is now able to properly parent her child or, if your ex is an inappropriate guardian.

If your daughter is still unable to care for her child, then you could file a petition to resign as guardian and your ex will continue as the sole guardian. If your daughter is now capable of caring for the child and wants to, depending upon if she signed a consent to the guardianship, originally, and I don't know if she did, she could file a petition to terminate the guardianship arguing that it is no longer necessary. You are missing some facts that I would need to be able to give you a comprehensive answer. You may want to spend a nominal amount for a consultation.
