At the very least you want to get his agreement in writing. The safest best would be to open a court case and file the agreement in that case.

It will not affect the other party's parenting time within any fashion. I don't see anything within the MSA that says that I can't move within the city. Do I need to do anything as far as what the law says?

If it is child abandonment, would the mother still have to petition through the courts for him to sign over his parental rights?
answered on Apr 4, 2022
In Nevada, abandonment occurs after a 6 month absence from the child. However, the absence doesn't automatically amount to giving up the parental rights to the child. The mother would have to file with the court to have the rights terminated.
Does she have the right to come from az to nv to take him from us when She's had zero contact with him
answered on Apr 4, 2022
As the biological mother she will have rights. the extent of those rights will depend on the facts of the case.
answered on Mar 22, 2022
Nevada does not require children to support and reside with their disabled parents. If you have guardianship of your parents you may have additional responsibilities.
Hope this helps.
