In Nevada, all Family cases which address the custody and visitation of children require you to address child support. Under Nevada Law, both parents have an obligation to provide financial support to their children. In Nevada a parent's child support is determined based upon a statutory calculation based upon ones monthly adjusted gross income. This is determined when the parent fills out a financial disclosure affidavit, which is required by the court.

In addition, there are several other factors which can impact one's child support obligation, including the age of the child, support obligations for other children, additional sources of income, the parent's custody statute, and the amount of time spent with the child. A child support order may include provisions for other expenses for the children such as daycare, health insurance, or extraordinary health care expenses.

If you are currently ordered to receive child support payments from a parent that is not paying, there are various options available to you within the State of Nevada family court system. If needed, the Law Offices of Mayfield Gruber Sheets can help you file a motion to compel those payments.

Additionally, many parents who are the subject of a child support order find that their financial situation has drastically changed over time. In Nevada, if there has been a "material change in circumstances", you are entitled to have the court review your child support obligation and adjust them accordingly. If you are the subject of a child support order, we can file a motion to reduce the payments. If the opposing party is the subject of the order, we can file a motion to increase the payments.
