NEVADA Part 50

    How is child support determined?

Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) provides specific guidelines for the amount of child support to be awarded. The court considers the non-custodial parent's gross income and the number of children involved. The amount of support may be adjusted. Other factors considered may include but are not limited to: the costs of the baby's birth; the cost of health insurance; the cost of child care; and any, special education needs. See NRS 125B.070 and NRS 125B.080.
