I posted a question recently. To those who answered my first question. Thank you.( I don't know if it is okay to name drop, so hopefully you remember my handle) Due to my answers I got, a few new questions have risen. I was once on child support in Nevada. I was garnished for a few months while my daughters mom went on public assistance to get food stamps. That was the first time. The second time I was put on it again when she went for help with child care. I was taken off when I finished paying off what they had given her in assistance. Are any of these child support documents considered an order of custody for her. Meaning, is my daughter bound to her mothers custody because of the child support documents from a few years back. And also are those child support documents an establishment of paternity for myself. Meaning, do they say I am the legal father of my daughter? Please read my previous question below to gather the whole scenario.
I currently have been taking care of my daughter for the past two years. She currently lives with me. I have never had any custody papers on her. But, I would like to get them. Joint custody and I want the physical custody part of it. She is currently attending school here and has been for the entire duration of her stay. I live in Utah and her mother lives in Nevada. Her mother sent her to me when she had to turn herself in for incarceration. Is there a way to get the type of custody I desire here in the courts of Utah without having to travel to Nevada for any court work? I have been fearful of sending her back to her mother, for fear she may not be returned. I would like Utah to be my daughters primary residence.
