Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
I have split legal custody of my 5 year old daughter. We share every other week. When I get her back she tells me that "Daddy doesn't let me call you when I ask to talk to you", can I address the courts in this matter?

That's not one of the legal labels available (see the Rivero case, posted on our Child Custody page, at http://www.willicklawgroup.com/child_custody_visitation).
And, yes -- if specifically mentioned in your Decree, you can bring a motion for contempt if there is interference; if not specifically mentioned, a parenting plan can always be amended, by stipulation or court order, to provide for specified phone contact.
You should probably seek consultation with an appropriate family law specialist. I would suggest starting your search with the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, the Nevada chapter of which can be viewed at http://www.aaml.org/go/fellows/fellows-by-state/?showResults=true&state=NV.
If you decide you would like to discuss this with one of the attorneys of this firm, please take a look at our consultation policies, procedures, and costs, at http://www.willicklawgroup.com/consultation_policies.
