Fernley, NV asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Nevada

Q: Hello my ex and I broke up in 2014 I moved to Texas and she stayed in Nevada. Well I’n 2015 she had me served with

Custody order wanting sole custody. Well I wasn’t able to make it to court so judge gave her sole custody and I have no rights or visitation. But in 2016 I moved back to Nevada to be in my daughters life. I’ve been around my daughter for almost 5 and half years. I’ve taken her places bought her so much stuff. But in 2021 October a

Argument happened and my ex kept my daughter away from me for 3 and half months. So I filed a change of motion and my ex was so mad and now she’s saying all these bad things about me and that I have no rights. I filed 50/50 custody motion. But my question is should I get a lawyer or should I just take my pictures and text messages I have to court on our court date in June? And my Ex moved out of Nevada as of yesterday so I won’t get 50/50 custody!!

A: I believe strongly in retaining counsel whenever you have a legal matter regarding custody of children. These cases can get very complicated and you are fighting for the most important and fundamental right as a parent. It should be handled by an experienced attorney to get you the best possible result.
