Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
My husband and I were appointed �Legal Guardians� to our grandson, on Aug 2, 2000, by the Eighth Judicial District Court (state of Nevada) where we presently reside in Las Vegas. He has lived with us every day since then. His mother lives in Arizona and his father�s location is unknown. We have never asked for or received any monies from either parent through these years for child support. There is no court structured visitation established. His mother calls and visits whenever she wants and her last visit was December 2010. Our grandson is 15 years old and recently diagnosed (through a blood test) to be allergic to �dust�. We would like to move with him to Tennessee, where it isn�t so dusty and to be closer to his uncles and aunt. What legal process is required (if any), to make this move?

You need to file a Petition in the Court in Las Vegas that granted to Guardianship for permission to relocate and serve the mother with notice of the hearing. You may or may not have to obtain guardianship in the new state.
Once you file your Petition to Move with your grandson outside the state of Nevada, a hearing will be held. The court most likely, will require you to obtain a guardianship or conservatorship in TN. within 6 months after you move and provide proof to the Nevada Court that you have done so. Onct that is done, the Nevada Guardianship will be terminated.
