Many residents of Nevada are originally from another state.  As such, many people choose to move or relocate to another state.  When there are children of the marriage, the parties must consent in writing to the move or else seek court approval pursuant to NRS § 125C.200.  If the parties must go to court, the burden is on the moving party to demonstrate a slew of factors (ie. the move is for a good faith reason, will the moving parent comply with the court’s substitute visitation order, whether there will be a realistic opportunity for the noncustodial parent to have adequate visitation schedule).  Practically speaking, the parent that has primary physical custody has the “upper hand” in winning a relocation and as such, obtaining primary physical custody in the divorce is key to any future relocation by that parent.
