FAQ
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.
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.
To stop paying child support, the parent who is making the payments will have to show that there has been a material change in their circumstances. If the parent who has to make payments obtains custody of their child, they can file a petition with the court to stop making child support payments.
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.
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 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.
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.
