Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
Motion to relocate
In my latest custody papers from 6 years ago (I now have full custody), it says that I cannot take my children out of the state of Nevada. However, I plan to move to Colorado soon. Their dad hasn't seen them in almost 5 years and he lives in West Virginia. My ex doesn't know about this clause in our custody papers because he didn't get a copy. I cannot seem to find the form ''Motion to Relocate'' anywhere from the family court office or the legal help center or the Law library. I have heard that all I need is his written permission to leave the state. He won't contest it. My questions are: where can I get this form? How do I file? Can I just use his written permission and leave anyways without going to court? And what would happen if I leave without any permission (he's already said he didn't care)? Thanks for any advise.

He need only write something like
I authorize (your name) to take our child (his or her name or their name) to permanently move from Las Vegas Nevada to _________, Colorado and I agree to the same visitation schedule that I currently have.

If you leave with his written permission, you don't need to go to court. If you leave without his permission, even though he has not visited in 6 years, he could seek contempt against you.
