Do I need to register my Divorce decree in the state of Nevada? If I don't have to, Will the state of Nevada honor the decree and everything in it like child support, parental rights and standings?

Registration of a "foreign" (out of state) decree that has child custody or support terms in it is easy and usually inexpensive -- any family law specialist should be able to assist you, or you could look on the Clark County Self-Help center for forms to try to do it yourself. But you will have to register the decree in Nevada to use Nevada court for enforcement of the decree's terms, if you need to do so.
