NEVADA Part 22

What happens if we have joint physical custody and I need to relocate?

Parties cannot have joint custody and live in two different states.  (This may be different if you live in Laughlin and the other parent lives in Bullhead City, Arizona, for example.)  As the parent who wants to move, you will have to seek both a modification of custody to be the primary custodian and a motion for relocation.  In response, the other parent may seek a modification of custody to be the primary custodian.  In seeking a modification of custody, parties will have to address material change of circumstances and the child’s welfare would be substantially enhanced by the change.
