Unwed & escaping a DV relationship that I'd been too scared to report to law enforcement. How do I fight to keep full custody of my daughter without having to return to Georgia?
answered on Feb 14, 2024
If Georgia has jurisdiction of the child, and you have a previous custody decree, leaving the state without either the parent's consent or a court order giving you permission to relocate is not a good idea and can possibly have negative repercussion for you .

Joint Custody. 15yo child left other parents house 6 mo ago. Has no desire to return.
answered on Jun 28, 2023
the court may listen to the child's wishes and take into consideration the maturity of the child and the child's best interest in making the decision, but the child does not get to make this decision without the court approval.

It appears that the child might have changed residency after being in Nevada for 6 months or more. You might now need to get Dad's permission to relocate or file a motion with the Court.
