How does Open Adoption work in Nevada?

An agreement for postadoption contact is only enforceable if the agreement is signed, in writing, and incorporated into the adoption decree. The agreement must not affect the rights of the adoptive parents as the legal parents. The adoptive parents must notify the court that they have a postadoption contact agreement before finalizing the adoption. An adoptive parent may petition the court for enforcement within 120 days of a breach, or for modification or termination of the agreement. For the court to grant termination or modification, the adoptive parent must establish that there has been a change in circumstance, or the agreement is no longer in the best interest of the child, or both the birth parents and adoptive parents must agree to the change. A petition to modify the agreement by the adoptive parent will be presumed to be in the best interest of the child and may not expand contact with the birth parents.

Nev. Rev. Stat. §§ 127.187, 127.1875, 127.188, 127.1885, 127.1895 (2020)
