Re: moving childrenout of state

In order for Nevada Courts to take over changes to a custody order made by Texas, the children would need to live in Nevada for at least six (6) months. However, if Papa still lives in Texas, it is unlikely that Nevada will take on the responsibility to resolve custody and visitation disputes unless Texas Courts decide to decline future involvement. I have to wonder what you expect to come up that raises this issue.
