Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

I had joint custody of my child at my divorce. My ex started not letting me see her and moved. The DA here made me pay, file and wait 6-9 months to get this to court. At court the judge ordered her to give me her addresss and phone number and to let me see my kid. After the first weekend of having my baby, it was the samt thing, she moved it took 6-9 months for court. Same thing, seen my kid one weekend she moved, same thing again 6-9 months before court. This happened a copuple more time before I told the DA if they wouldn't help me I would stop paying a kidnapper child support, I did stop paying and they kept locking me up and not even proving my kid was still alive let alone help me fingd her. Now she has turned 18 and the DA gives me a letter from her and she wan't to know me and why I didn't want her. They the DA are still after all child support I failed to pay when I did stop paying back then for awhile. Aren't my ex and the DA guity of child abduction? What can or should I do?

You should have filed a Motion for contempt the second time it happened. What you have to do now is file a Motion in the divorce court to have it determined that your ex should not be entitled to collect the back payments based upon her actions.

The Nevada Supreme Court held 20 years ago that if a mom does what you wife did, she should not be entitled to support.
