Hi Lisa, I'm sorry you're dealing with this. In Nevada, family members generally do not have the legal right to prevent other adult family members from seeing each other, barring any specific court orders or legal restrictions.
Is your mother capable of making her own decisions, or is there a guardianship or power of attorney in place?
