I asked the same question to Soc. and he said the opposite. All I need to do is file a modification in Arizona, and this court will contact the Nevada court to get them to release jurisdiction. Do you have specific experience in this area, to lead you to have this opinion? Or should I take Soc's advice over yours?

Custody Issues / RE: Do it..........

Personally, with a problem like meth in the equatiuon, I would have supervised visits for longer. You can never be too sure with a problem like that.

Custody Issues / Change of Jurisdiction and Custody
Aug 12, 2004, 01:13:33 PM
My husband and I live in Arizona, however, the commencement of the case happened in Nevada.
Here's the history...
My SD was born and the BM handed her to my husband and didn't barely even see her daughter for 1 year. Then the BM files for custody of her daughter 1 year after she was born, and wins, but the BM still leaves my SD with my husband (of course still collecting child support) until he moved to Arizona to be with me. That's when she finally takes care of her daughter...at 1.5 years old. Since then we have seen her rather irregularly for varying periods, up to three months at a time. (My husband and the BM were never married, so my husband got screwed in the custody arrangement - he didn't get any rights whatsoever even though he was taking care of her for her whole life up to that point!)
Now my SD is 4 going on 5 in Nov....
The BM got a new job with the State of Nevada, thereby forfeiting her $16,000 a year in state support (rent, food, daycare, etc.) (She also has 2 other children, B15 & G7.) And so she calls up my husband and says that she can't pay for my SD's daycare so we'll have to take her for an indefinite period of time. So, of course, we jump at the chance and pay for her and an escort to fly down to Arizona.
Now we are hoping to have her for at least 6 months so we can maybe change the jurisdiction to Arizona and get full custody of my SD. And though the six month mark isn't going to happen until February, I want to feel out this new territory before we jump in head first.
My question is that I know the jurisdiction law says that Nevada has to release jurisdiction before Arizona can modify an existing custody order. Does anyone know what the process is for getting a state to release jurisdiction? What paperwork needs to be filed, etc?

Father's Issues / Fathers Rights Custody Groups
Feb 28, 2007, 02:02:35 PM
I remember in my dealings with this forum that one of the members started a father's rights group in Reno, Nevada. I can't remember the name of the group though. Does anyone have any recollection of this? We really need some help in Nevada, they seem to be stuck in the dark ages when it comes to making the non-custodial parent pay child support!!!
