FAQ
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.
What do I do if I want alimony? You can ask for alimony as part of a divorce proceeding. If you and your spouse reach an agreement about alimony, you can ask the judge to make the agreement a part of the court order. If you cannot reach an agreement, the judge will decide whether you are entitled to alimony.
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.
California determines alimony based on the recipient's “marital standard of living,” which aims to allow the spouse to continue living in a similar manner as during the marriage.
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.
The specific factors that judges must consider vary from state to state, but they typically include: both spouses' needs. each spouse's ability to earn and support themselves, based on their education, employment history, age, health, and other factors.
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.
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.
