FAQ
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.
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.
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.
The person asking for alimony must show the court that he or she needs financial support, and that the other spouse has the ability to provide financial support.
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.
If you are still living with your spouse or former spouse, alimony payments are not tax-deductible. You must make payments after physical separation for them to qualify as tax-deductible. Don't file a joint tax return. If you and your spouse file a joint income tax return, you can't deduct alimony payments.
The person asking for alimony must show the court that he or she needs financial support, and that the other spouse has the ability to provide financial support.
