Whether you are going through a divorce or you have recently resolved a paternity dispute, all child support determinations are based on a formula in Nevada. The child support formula is applied to data from financial disclosure form filled out by both parents. Courts in Nevada, however, can vary from the child support formula, and many cases involve the grounds for such a variance.
In cases where there is joint custody, support plans are based on comparative income. There is a separate plan used to determine support payment for parents with almost equal time. In these cases, the parent with the larger income will pay the support. In all cases, it is possible to deviate from the state's guidelines, but only in specific circumstances.
In order to come up with a fair child support plan, you must have an accurate picture of the financial situations of both parties. There are methods to allow discovery when there is a question about disclosure. There is also a new law in Nevada which can penalize a party for failure to place property on financial disclosure forms. We will aggressively examine both parties financial representation to ensure they are accurate.
