August 12, 2025 • Anderson Keuscher Brachmann

The Question:

“I’ve been offered a great job out of state and want to move with my daughter, but her dad refuses to give permission. We share joint custody. Under Nevada law, can I relocate without his consent, or am I stuck unless the court says yes?”

If one parent refuses to give permission, can the other still move? Jessica explains what Nevada law requires when it comes to relocation, parental consent, and getting court approval, especially when a major life opportunity is on the line.
