Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
hauge vrs hauge
what court do i file in if i want to ask for a clarification of this case(the wording leaves alot open and lets a parent move anywhere in the state)this would be fine if its a small state but a large state can mean up to 500 miles away this is no good.

Re: hauge vrs hauge
Since your zipcode puts you in Clark County, I presume you were divorced in Clark County so that it where you would file. If you were divorced in another County, you would have to file in that County.
You raise an interesting issue that I have never litigated in 14 years of family practice and one year working for a family court judge. I would rather have a spouse move to Southern California than from Henderson to Reno.
However, the parent does not need court permission to move from Green Valley to Northern Nevada but is required for Southern California, which is closer.
The Court would probably re-do the visitation schedule just as if the parent moved out of state, but the Court cannot stop the move.
