Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
Jurisdiction change
My daughter was born in California, and we now have been living in Navada for 3 1/2 years. Her father still lives in California. He is paralyzed from an drunk driving accident, (him the drunk driver) and has been in and out of my daughters life. I have been driving her down there to see him, and whenever he dosen't get his way he files court papers with false aligations, to inconvience me, to have to go to court in Cali. He uses court as a threat constently, know I don't have the time and could possiably lose my jobs. with that being said, I just want to know if im entitled to get the jurisdiction to Navada. If he wants to harrass me with court then he would need to come here. Will a judge see good reason to move jurisdiction? How do I convince a judge the he is waisting the courts time and harrassing me. I already had to miss 2 days of work, school for my daughter for an emergency court hearing. I can't be toyed with anymore.

Thank you for your inquiry.
If you do not have a formal Court order concerning custody and support in California you could file in Nevada as it would be considered your child's home state. However, if you do have an Order in California you would have to handle matters there.
If you do have a California order, you should register it in Nevada so that if your ex moves out of California, you could litigate in Nevada.

You would have to file a motion in Cal to move jurisdiction. .It has jurisdiction because he still lives there. It can transfer jurisdiction to Nevada but Nevada just can't take it.
