Unlike child support, there is no formula for alimony in Nevada. The decision of how to award alimony is entirely up to the court. Since the court is the final arbiter in alimony decisions, the court decisions can be unpredictable, we first encourage our clients to negotiate a settlement regarding spousal support. With over two decades of family law experience, we know how the courts tend to rule, and we can help you come up with a plan that protects your financial future.
If you decide to take your alimony dispute to trial, the court will consider a number of factors, including:
- Length of marriage
- Marketability of skills
- Financial wherewithal
- History of employment
- Homemaker status
In order to come up with a fair alimony plan, you must have accurate information about your financial situation and that of your spouse. There are methods to allow discovery when there is a question about disclosure, and a new law penalizing any party who fails to provide full financial disclosure. We can help you use the proper legal means to obtain any and all necessary information.
