The current Court Order will stand UNTIL one of the parties files for a modification of the order and the Court Grants it.
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.
So My ex husband has a long history of filing ficticious documents with the washoe county court system and they eat it up every time. My signature was recently forged on a stipulation submitted by him and it was granted by our judge

You would have to file a Motion to Set Aside the Stipulation and Order with the court stating the same.

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?
answered on Feb 6, 2023
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.

Yes, parties sharing joint physical custody should share their addresses between them and update their address with the court.
I want to leave because I have no family or support here
answered on Sep 12, 2022
To legally leave the state with the child you should file for divorce and include an emergency motion to relocate.

You can file a Motion to Modify Custody and explain to the court why you kept your son and ask the court to change custody to you as dad is assaulting the child. However, you want to be sure the sexual assault has been substantiated or the court is unlikely to change custody without some other... View More

You should consult an Idaho attorney. From a Nevada attorneys' perspective and with the limited information above, you can file in court asking for primary custody if you have had primary custody ( even if it was voluntary given to you) as this can be seen as a substantial change assuming...

I am in the process of divorce and no custody agreements have been set. I do not want him as a friend to post or comment on my Facebook. But I can still use Messenger to let him video chat our child. Will this risk even joint custody?

You can choose who to allow on your social media, but you should be very careful what you post especially during a divorce proceeding.
Nevada prefers joint custody and uses best interest of the child factors when deciding custody. These factors include coparenting, cooperate and fostering... View More

If you feel that the child is in danger from being with the other parent due to his current arrest for abuse and neglectful then I would suggest filing a motion with the court for temporary orders before keeping the child away from the other parent. It is never a good idea to violate a current... View More

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?

As long as you are not infringing on the other parent's custody/visitation times, you are not prohibited from moving to a new residence. Be sure to inform the other parent of your new residence.
