§ 125A.495. Expedited enforcement of child custody determination

1. A petition pursuant to NRS 125A.405 to 125A.585 , inclusive, must be verified. Certified copies of all orders sought to be enforced and of any order confirming

registration must be attached to the petition. A copy of a certified copy of an order may be attached instead of the original. 2. A petition for enforcement of a child custody determination must state: (a) Whether the court that issued the determination identified the jurisdictional

basis it relied upon in exercising jurisdiction and, if so, what the basis was; (b) Whether the determination for which enforcement is sought has been vacated, stayed

or modified by a court whose decision must be enforced pursuant to the provisions

of this chapter and, if so, identify the court, the case number and the nature of

the proceeding; (c) Whether any proceeding has been commenced that could affect the current proceeding,

including proceedings relating to domestic violence, protective orders, termination

of parental rights and adoptions and, if so, identify the court, the case number and

the nature of the proceeding; (d) The present physical address of the child and the respondent, if known; (e) Whether relief in addition to the immediate physical custody of the child and

attorney's fees is sought, including a request for assistance from law enforcement

officers and, if so, the relief sought; and (f) If the child custody determination has been registered and confirmed pursuant

to NRS 125A.465 , the date and place of registration. 3. Upon the filing of a petition, the court shall issue an order directing the respondent

to appear in person with or without the child at a hearing and may enter any order

necessary to ensure the safety of the parties and the child. The hearing must be held on the next judicial day after service of the order unless

that date is impossible. If that date is impossible, the court shall hold the hearing on the first judicial

day possible. The court may extend the date of the hearing at the request of the petitioner. 4. An order issued pursuant to subsection 3 must state the time and place of the hearing

and advise the respondent that at the hearing the court will order that the petitioner

may take immediate physical custody of the child and the payment of fees, costs and

expenses pursuant to NRS 125A.535 , and may schedule a hearing to determine whether further relief is appropriate, unless

the respondent appears and establishes that: (a) The child custody determination has not been registered and confirmed pursuant

to NRS 125A.465 and that: (1) The issuing court did not have jurisdiction pursuant to NRS 125A.305 to 125A.395 , inclusive; (2) The child custody determination for which enforcement is sought has been vacated,

stayed or modified by a court having jurisdiction to do so pursuant to NRS 125A.305 to 125A.395 , inclusive; or (3) The respondent was entitled to notice, but notice was not given in accordance

with the standards of NRS 125A.255 , in the proceedings before the court that issued the order for which enforcement

is sought; or (b) The child custody determination for which enforcement is sought was registered

and confirmed pursuant to NRS 125A.465 , but has been vacated, stayed or modified by a court of a state having jurisdiction

to do so pursuant to NRS 125A.305 to 125A.395 , inclusive.
