Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

Im an unwed mother of a 7 month old and I am also about 3 1/2 months pregnant.

I want to move out of Las Vegas to live with my mother in Alaska.

I am currently living with my boyfriend and his parents.

He has known of me wanting to move for several months now and has decided he wants to stay in Las Vegas.

He is currently not working, we are on medicaid and wic, because he is not working.

Our relationship is not working out for me so I moved back in with my father.

My resoning for leaving is that my boyfriend and his parents cant provide adequetly enough for me and 2 babies, and I do not recive the help I need in taking care of our daughter, and would not be able to finish high school unless I lived with my mother because of all the family support I would have in Alaska.

I have heard that I have a legal right to leave to alaska since I am infact Alaskan Native and am recognized by KIC, how ever my daughter is not.

My question is can I legally leave the state with my daughter and unborn child with out my boyfriends writen permission or permission from the stat of Nevada?

You will have to file a motion for permission to move out of state if the natural father won't give you written consent. The Court has certain standards that you have to meet to get permission to move. If you cannot afford a lawyer you should go either to the self-help center or the Clark County Pro Bono project. The motion may require an evidentiary hearing so a lawyer is helpful.
