NEVADA Part 21

In a motion for relocation, custodial parent has to demonstrate an actual advantage for both kid and parent in moving; if so, then court must weigh (1) extent to which move likely to improve quality of life for the children and parent; (2) whether motive for move “honorable” and not designed to frustrate or defeat visitation rights to non-custodian; (3) whether, if move allowed, the custodial parent will comply with substitute visitation orders; (4) whether non-custodian’s motives are honorable in resisting motion to move, or if intended to secure financial advantage re: support or otherwise; (5) whether, if the move is allowed, is there a realistic opportunity for a visitation schedule that will adequately foster and preserve a relationship with the non-custodian.  The purpose of this is not to chain the custodial parent to Nevada, but to establish notice to the other parent and ensure that the relocation is thought out and not a whim.
