Q: If I moved to CO from NV w/ my son after circumstances w/ my son's mom. Neither has legal custody. Is it a problem?
My son's mother was arrested in NV for DV against me. She had a Protective Order placed on her for a month afterward. She said she wanted to see our son after the 30 days after the Protection Order ended and never showed. She made 2 arrangements with me and never showed up. The mom's called twice and I let her talk to our son. I never stopped her, however, I had to move to CO because my son and I were homeless 6 months after she was arrested. My mom lives in CO, my mom and I have est. a plan & she's helping me to get back on my feet. The mom of my son filed a custody order in NV and I want to know, can I get served in CO? There is currently NO custody order.
A: You will need to deal with the court case in NV. Yes, you can be served in Colorado. You should get a lawyer in NV to help you with this. There may be an issue whether NV or CO should make the custody decision.
