How Is Child Support Determined in Nevada?
In Nevada, there is a set formula for child support calculation. So, why do you need a lawyer? You need a lawyer because the process becomes much more complicated when there is a joint or shared custody agreement in place. Under recent case law, if parents share time, child support is pro-rated.
In addition, other deviations from the standard formula can be made for a variety of reasons including:
- Relationship factors
- Health insurance and medical expenses, particularly those for children with chronic illnesses or developmental delays
- Household incomes
- Educational needs
- Day-to-day needs of the child (i.e. daycare, clothing, school supplies, etc.)
Making the Right Decisions the First Time
My best advice to clients is to make sure you get what you need from a child support arrangement the first time around, avoiding the costs and headaches of seeking modification later on. Having handled child support cases since 1976, you can trust me to represent your interests and make sure your children are taken care of.
