Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

Precedence for Disregarding Murphy v Murphy
A family court judge ordered a change of custody based on claims not yet proven as facts. No Family Interviews(FMAC), no CPS investigation, no evidentiary hearing. 7 days later, recused self, and posted to another court. It took some 9 months to get intom that other court. New Judge cited Murphy v, as reason to not return children to plaintiff citing no material change would exist and that the best int. of the children would be served best by not changing what they were NOW used to. 2nd Judge claimed 1st Judge has grossly violated Nevada Sup. Crt rulings and guidelines for Changes in Custody. Court appointed Therapist (MFP) rec. joint custody, Judge again cited Murphy; Changing the routine only creates confusion for the children.

Re: Precedence for Disregarding Murphy v Murphy

Did you have a question ? If so, you didn't express it.

If you want to know why the first judge did what (s)he did, there is no answer to that question. Judges make mistakes all the time.
