How Child Support is Determined

In Nevada, child support is calculated based on several factors, including:


  • Each parent’s income and financial resources
  • The number of children being supported
  • The custody arrangement, including how much time the child spends with each parent
  • The child’s specific needs, including medical care, education, and childcare expenses


While state guidelines provide a formula for calculating support, special circumstances may require adjustments, such as cases involving high-income parents, medical expenses, or shared custody arrangements. Our firm ensures that child support calculations are accurate and appropriate based on the unique details of each case.


Modifying Child Support Orders

Life circumstances change, and child support orders may need to be adjusted over time. A parent may request a modification if there has been a substantial change in income, employment, health, or the child’s needs. Common reasons for modifications include:


  • A parent losing their job or experiencing a significant reduction in income
  • A parent earning significantly more than when the original order was issued
  • Changes in custody or visitation schedules that impact financial responsibilities
  • The child’s increased expenses due to medical needs, education, or extracurricular activities


Modifying child support requires filing a formal request with the court and demonstrating a valid reason for the change. We assist clients in navigating the modification process and ensuring that any adjustments are fair and legally sound.


Enforcing Child Support Obligations

Unfortunately, not all parents comply with child support orders. If you are struggling to receive court-ordered support, legal enforcement options are available. The court can take measures such as:


  • Wage garnishment to collect unpaid support
  • Suspension of driver’s licenses or professional licenses
  • Interception of tax refunds to cover unpaid amounts
  • Contempt of court proceedings, which can result in fines or other penalties


If you are owed child support, we can help you take legal action to enforce the order and ensure your child receives the financial support they are entitled to.
