FAQ

There isn't a strict formula for calculating alimony in Nevada. Instead, courts use discretion based on the abovementioned factors to determine an appropriate amount and duration.

40% of the high earner's net monthly income minus 50% of the low earner's net monthly income. For instance, if Spouse A earns $5,000 per month and Spouse B earns $2,500 per month, temporary spousal support might be calculated as follows: 40% of $5,000 = $2,000. 50% of $2,500 = $1,250.

Nevada divorce laws do not state a minimum time to be married to receive spousal support. Alimony will typically be awarded in marriages of 6 years or greater if there is a difference in incomes, and a spouse can justify the need for alimony.

How is alimony calculated in Nevada? Alimony calculations in Nevada are based on multiple factors, including the length of the marriage, each spouse's income, earning potential, financial needs, and the standard of living during the marriage.

Nevada is a community property state. This means that each spouse owns 50% of the property assets and debts acquired during the marriage. Upon divorce or legal separation, courts distribute these assets and debts equally between the spouses.

Spousal support payments in Nevada normally cease upon the death of either person. Depending on the case, the paying spouse may assume custody of any minor children unless the court orders otherwise. You must disclose your income, expenses, and deductions to the court in a Financial Disclosure Form.

Note that alimony can be temporary or permanent. Temporary alimony typically lasts for a couple of years and is meant to help the receiving spouse transition out of the divorce. Permanent alimony is usually awarded after a long-term marriage where the receiving spouse may be retired or unable to work.

The law in Nevada says alimony ends when the spouse receiving alimony either passes away or remarries. You can modify spousal support if the paying party's income increases or decreases by 20% or more. This support modification is considered a change of circumstances.
