In Nevada, as in many states, parents cannot forcibly evict an adult child without proper notice. This is typically seen as a landlord-tenant relationship, even if no rent is paid. In relation to your son, if you have full sole custody, your parents generally don't have the right to withhold... View More

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.
Currently there is 50/50 custody with neither party paying support.

If I were to modify my sons visitation to 50/50 with his dad, and stop future child support payments, would i still be entitled to the arrears that was owed? Or would the arrears be waive because of the modification?
answered on Apr 11, 2023
The arrears are not automatically waived. Just be careful what you sign as they can include a provision to waive them, end all child support obligations, or include some other language that may be interpreted as waiving arrears.

I have full custody of my son in Washington, his dad filed to petition for a parenting plan in Nevada since we've been here for 6 months, i don't want to stay, can I leave?
