QUESTION
I am a 28 year old man trying to get custody of my three children.
Asked on Feb 20th, 2017 on Child Custody - Nevada
More details to this question:
I have 3 children that I am trying to get custody of. My kids mother lives in California and I live in Nevada. I pay child support for my children but I really just want them here with me. My kids mother barely takes them to school and they are suffering education wise. My oldest daughter tells me how her principle had to take them clothes shopping as if their mother is not doing her part. I recently had to pay $300 for a pay day loan that she took out in my name that I have paperwork for. I just want to know the legal steps I should take to get this process complete and my children with me. Thank you for your time

Unfortunately, your question leaves out the facts necessary to give you a full answer. That you are paying support hints that there has been some court proceeding relating to custody and support somewhere, but you do not say where -- which is critical. If it was in CA, then modification motions must be filed in CA, so there is little a NV attorney could do to advise you (if it was in NV, then see here and then write back and provide some more details). Failure to properly care for children's education would be a ground to modify custody in either state. Generally, it requires filing a motion to modify, but you should first figure out what state you have to act in, and then consult with a family law specialist in that place for precise analysis of your options.
