The courts rely mainly on monthly income to decide on spousal support. To calculate your monthly income the court will use your financial disclosure form. Your financial disclosure form (FDF) provides the court a general idea of your monthly income, your monthly deductions, and your monthly expenses.
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.
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.
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 guideline states that the paying spouse's support be presumptively 40% of his or her net monthly income, reduced by one-half of the receiving spouse's net monthly income. If child support is an issue, spousal support is calculated after child support is calculated.
The formula is simple: Divide the Wife's annual amount by the interest rate: $100,000 divided by . 10 = $1 million. The formula is known as the present value of a perpetuity because it continues in perpetuity.
