Child Support

Las Vegas Child Support Attorneys

Child support is often a significant issue when a couple files for divorce. The noncustodial parent will wonder how much he or she has to pay, while the custodial parent is going to want to receive as much as possible to take care of their children. In Nevada, however, as is the case in most states, child support is based on guidelines put in place by the Child Support Standards Act (CSSA). These guidelines require certain amounts to be paid based on the incomes of both parties and the number of children they have.

Nevada Child Support Enforcement and Modifications Lawyers

According to the child support guidelines, 18 percent of one’s gross monthly income has to be paid for child support with one child. With two children, the amount increases to 25 percent. Even though child support is based upon guidelines, there are multiple issues that can influence or change the amount a party has to pay. Some of these factors are:

• The amount of time the child spends with each parent
• Changes in income or employment
• The costs of health insurance, child care, and any special educational needs of the child
• Paternity issues

One of the challenges in resolving child support cases is income determination. If a party is self-employed, looking into their actual income can be difficult. We will investigate bank records, spending habits and other financial records in order to determine the actual income of the other party. We can help you get the child support you deserve by making sure all financial records are obtained, reviewed and made part of the court record.

In addition to helping you with your child support case, we can assist with modifications to change child support orders and with enforcement actions to make sure that support is being paid.

We worry about the law so you don't have to.
