FAQ
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.
Child support is never deductible and isn't considered income. Additionally, if a divorce or separation instrument provides for alimony and child support, and the payer spouse pays less than the total required, the payments apply to child support first. Only the remaining amount is considered alimony.
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 alimony law does not specify how long a couple must have been married in order for a spouse to receive alimony payments upon divorce. Instead, this is left up to the judge's discretion. In most cases if the couple has been married for less than 3 years, it's unlikely that alimony will be awarded.
To qualify for alimony support, the receiving spouse must prove financial hardship and make a case for monetary assistance, whether temporary or long-term.
Base support obligations For example, for one child, the base support obligation equals: 16% of income up to $6,000, plus. 8% of any income from $6,001 to $10,000, plus. 4% of any income over $10,000.
In the new Nevada child support laws, there is no presumptive maximum of support. Instead, whatever the amount is, based on the parent's total income, is presumed to meet the needs of the child. The parents can rebut that presumption by presenting evidence and asking the court to order a different amount.
Determine the Correct Child Support Percentage The amounts are as follows: One child: – 16% of income up to $60,000; 8% of income from $60,000-$100,000; 4% of income over $100,000. Two children: – 22% of income up to $60,000; 11% of income from $60,000-$100,000; 6% of income over $100,000.
