Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
In Nevada, can a divorced mother living with and having primary custody of two minor children (father has limited weekend visitation rights) be prevented legally by the father from cohabiting with a man of her choice while still retaining custody of her children?

The short version: no. Of course, the devil is in the details -- if the new cohabitant has, say an extensive criminal record relating to children, the father might well have objections to that person being around the kids, and a reviewing court might well agree with him. But if the objection is just personal, or allegedly one of "morals," the answer, pretty clearly in Nevada today, is no. For an explanation and a full article explaining why, see legal note Vol. 22 � Parental Sexual Conduct, posted at http://www.willicklawgroup.com/full-list-of-newsletters/.
