What is the New Child Support Law in Nevada?
Under the new child support law in Nevada, the base child support responsibility depends on the number of children to be supported and the monthly gross income of the party responsible. Therefore, the parent will pay 16% of one child's first $6,000 monthly gross income.
How To Calculate Child Support in Nevada
Whether the parents are getting a divorce or the custodial parent is requesting child support, it is usually a contested matter. Especially in divorce cases, the party which has only minimal or no physical custody is resistant to paying large amounts of child support. Luckily, the law is on the side of the parent who is primarily caring for the child or children, and the results of such cases are often quite favorable. It is not uncommon for a parent who is working full-time and is financially stable, to have to pay hundreds of dollars of child support every month.
Can You Negotiate Child Support in Nevada?
The courts can modify and negotiate child support agreements for any reason since Nevada is a no-fault divorce state.
Depending on your time-share agreement or arrangement, a complex formula is used to calculate the amount of the child support, including the following:
- Your gross monthly income
- The gross monthly income of your ex-spouse
- The amount of time that the children are with each parent
- How many children are involved in the case
In Nevada, if you have a joint custody situation, the court will take the appropriate percentage of each parent’s gross monthly income, subtract them, and then the person who makes more pays the other parent that difference.

"If you're looking for someone who will truly work for your best interest, Shauna Hill is it!"
I went into my first appointment not knowing what to expect regarding my divorce case. I really thought I would end up owing more money in marital debt than I would receive from the sale of the marital residence. My name was not on the house so I was not sure what I was legally entitled to. Shauna Hill made me feel very comfortable from the very first appointment, and worked diligently on my case. I ended up with zero marital debt and monetary gain from the sale of the marital residence. If you're looking for someone who will truly work for your best interest, Shauna Hill is it!- Former Client -
"Mr. Hill was great, down to earth, friendly, understanding and a good person."
I was really impressed with how quickly I could get in and meet with the principal attorney Robert Hill. I had gone to a couple other law firms but the experience was not pleasant. I got the feeling that I was an annoyance for them. And others were so crazy over-priced that I was immediately turned off by the experience. Mr. Hill was great, down to earth, friendly, understanding and I felt like really a good person. I would absolutely recommend calling The Hill Law Group to anyone looking for a good honest attorney.- Geoffrey R. -

They are definitely willing to do what needs to be done to represent you and your interests! I can't recommend them highly enough!- Teresa K. -
"Best divorce lawyers in Las Vegas!"

"The BEST Family/Divorce Lawyers in Las Vegas in My Opinion!"
The BEST Family/Divorce Lawyers in Las Vegas in My Opinion! I have interviewed more than half a dozen divorce lawyers and finally hired Shauna Hill to handle my divorce case because Lord led me to find a lawyer with Christian beliefs. God is never wrong – Through the whole process of my divorce, Shauna showed her true caring/affection towards me and my kids’ well beings, attention to details, full understanding of my strong religious beliefs, rich knowledge in divorce laws, honesty about not familiar with certain questions I asked (she did research for those topics before I hired her which means she never charged me for those research). Most importantly, she encouraged me to work out an agreement with my then husband, never once did she push me to go to trial (which also means a whole lot more money for her). Even at one point, she got her husband Robert involved to educate me about my rights but never charged me double. Her billing was so honest that I didn’t even run out the initial deposit money when my case was done! So if you want lawyers who are considerate, passionate, have great knowledge in divorce and family laws, who truly care about your future well beings, and are the ones who can take you through the painful process of divorce and help you live a life after it with peace and joy in your mind, Shauna and Robert are the ones you should choose! They are truly God send and the BEST divorce lawyers in Las Vegas! May Lord bless Shauna and Robert and their business!- Sarah H. -
