Child Support Attorneys in Reno, NV

The maximum child support is based on the presumptive maximums under NRS 125B.070. of which:

1. For one child, 18 percent;
2. For two children, 25 percent;
3. For three children, 29 percent;
4. For four children, 31 percent; and
5. For each additional child, an additional 2 percent,

*Percentages are also based on monthly income brackets under NRS 125B.070

There are four primary changes in the new child support law:

1. There is no minimum amount set for child support
2. Statutory caps on child support no longer applies
3. The percentages and calculations of child support have changed
4. The age at which child support ends has changed

Child support ends at the age of 18 but if the child is still studying in high school, it will end at age 19. If the child has a mental or physical disability, the court can extend beyond the age of majority and can be terminated if the child receives a court order to remove a disability status.

Back child support payments based on Nevada law have no statute of limitations for the enforcement of child support if a court order exists. Retroactive support up to a period of 4 years may be requested if a court order does not exist.
