Child Support

Parents are obligated by Nevada law to provide financial support to their minor children. The child support laws apply to all parents whether the parents have ever been married to each other or not. According to Nevada’s child support formula, a parent’s child support obligation is based on his or her gross monthly income. According to the formula, the child support obligation is 18% of gross monthly income for one child; 25% of gross monthly income for two children; 29% of gross monthly income for three children; 31% of gross monthly income for four children; and, 2% for each additional child above four children. However, the law provides for a presumptive maximum amount of child support based on a parent’s income and the Consumer Price Index for the prior yearly period. The current presumptive maximum amounts for child support in Nevada may be obtained from the law offices of Kelleher & Kelleher, LLC.

Child support issues can be seriously intertwined with child custody issues. It is the non-custodial parent who pays child support, so custody determinations impact child support.
