Nevada Child Support.

Nevada does fall a little different in how it handles child support.  In Nevada the parent who usually pays child support has what is called a primary custody, this is what is usually referred to as non custodial and the parent that receives the child support for the child or children is referred to as the custodial parent.  In Nevada the parent that pays child support and in child support papers is referred to as primary custody.  For most the time, child support is based in the parents gross monthly income.  Both parents income will come into play on determining child support, if the parent that has the full time custody makes more then the primary, then the amount of child support will be lower, and vise versa.  Now in Nevada the minimum child support that can be paid is 100$ a month, that is for the most part, the lowest amount of child support that is to be paid, and the maximum amount of child support to be paid is 500$ a month, in most cases child support can not go under or above that amount.  Not only does the parent’s gross monthly income come into how much child support will be paid, so will the number of children.  Now in Nevada they will also make a primary parent besides a basic child support payment, they will most the time have to help with the following list.  Most parents can come to an agreement on sharing the cost of certain things, but if not they will be put in the child support papers. 
  1. Parents will share the day care cost, if both parents are working and child care is needed, it can be very expensive for one parent to do by themselves, so besides a basic child support payment, the parents will usually have to split the cost of day care.
  2. Medical insurance or medical needs for the child besides the basic child support payment will be split between parents.
  3. If the parents have to travel so that the child or children see both parents, then travel expenses will also be split.
 That is a basic list of what other cost come into play besides the basic child support payment in Nevada.  As most states the child support can be modified at anytime if there is a change in either parents or the children’s lives.  The changes can be from parents making more or less at a job….to also medical or schooling needs for the child or children. Remember again, child support is for the care of your children.  You are caring for your child’s basic needs, happiness, and comfort.
