    every person having a limited right of custody to a child or any parent having no right of

    custody to the child who willfully detains, conceals or removes the child from a parent,

    guardian or other person having lawful custody or a right of visitation of the child in

    without the consent of either the court or all persons who have the right to custody or

    NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the terms of the Hague Convention of October 25,

    1980, adopted by the 14th Session of the Hague Conference on Private International Law, apply

    if a parent abducts or wrongfully retains a child in a foreign country. The parties are also put on

    notice of the following provision of NRS 125C.0045(8):

    If a parent of the child lives in a foreign country or has significant commitments in a foreign

    country: (a) The parties may agree, and the court shall include in the order for custody of the

    child, that the United States is the country of habitual residence of the child for the purposes

    of applying the terms of the Hague Convention as set forth in subsection 7.

    (b) Upon motion of one of the parties, the court may order the parent to post a bond if

    the court determines that the parent poses an imminent risk of wrongfully removing or

    concealing the child outside the country of habitual residence. The bond must be in an

    amount determined by the court and may be used only to pay for the cost of locating the

    child and returning him to his habitual residence if the child is wrongfully removed from or

    concealed outside the country of habitual residence. The fact that a parent has significant

    commitments in a foreign country does not create a presumption that the parent poses an

    imminent risk of wrongfully removing or concealing the child.

    NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the parties are subject to the relocation requirements

    of NRS 125C.006 & NRS 125C.0065. If joint or primary physical custody has been established

    pursuant to an order, judgment or decree of a court and one parent intends to relocate his or her

    residence to a place outside of this State or to a place within this State that is at such a distance

    that would substantially impair the ability of the other parent to maintain a meaningful

    relationship with the child, and the relocating parent desires to take the child with him or her,

    the relocating parent shall, before relocating: (a) Attempt to obtain the written consent of the

    non-relocating parent to relocate with the child; and (b) If the non-relocating parent refuses to

    give that consent, petition the court for permission to move and/or for primary physical custody

    Page 7 of 7— Decree of Annulment (With Children)

  • for the purpose of relocating. A parent who desires to relocate with a child has the burden of

    proving that relocating with the child is in the best interest of the child. The court may award

    reasonable attorney's fees and costs to the relocating parent if the court finds that the non-

    relocating parent refused to consent to the relocating parent's relocation with the child without

    having reasonable grounds for such refusal, or for the purpose of harassing the relocating

    parent. A parent who relocates with a child pursuant to this section without the written consent

    of the other parent or the permission of the court is subject to the provisions of NRS 200.359.

    NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the parties are subject to the provisions of NRS

    31A and 125.450 regarding the collection of delinquent child support payments.
