Despite a clear history of running away (mother ran off to Japan to give birth, excluding father), Ochoa, not only ignored father's evidence mainly by sleeping through the testimony.
When this Judge WAS awake in the case, broke these laws:
- NRS 125.480 states the requesting parent must present a good faith reason for the move.
- 107 Nev. at 382-83, 812 P.2d at 1271 A court cannot adequately evaluate the child's best interest in the custody determination without considering the circumstances of the relocation request.
- Druckman vs. Ruscitti, Supreme Court case 61038, affirmed that unmarried parents have equal custody rights regarding the child absent a judicial custody order.
- NRS 125.480 Best interests of child; preferences; presumptions when court determines parent or person seeking custody is perpetrator of domestic violence or has committed act of abduction against child or any other child.
Despite the law, Ochoa actually REWARDED the abducting mother with permission to relocate, child support, and primary custody.
