Divorce Nevada Child Support

Divorce Papers > Divorce Child Support > Nevada

The Nevada Revised Statutes 125B.070 and 125B.080 consists of the following points.

• The court can award a minimum amount of support of 100 USD per month per child
• An exception to the above point is when the obligor is unable to pay this amount and submits such a statement in written form to the court
• Unemployment or intentional underemployment is not an adequate reason for deviation from the disbursal of at least this minimum amount

Upon particular findings of facts, the court takes into account the following factors and accordingly adjusts the support amount.

• The relative income of the father and the mother
• Any essential costs that result in the child's benefit
• The amount of time spent by the child with each parent
• Let us think of a situation in which the non custodial parent has remained in the jurisdiction of the court that ordered the support and the custodial parent moved out of the jurisdiction along with the child. Then, what would be the expenses of transport for the child during visitation?
• Whether the mother's pregnancy and confinement has resulted in any reasonable costs?
• Whether some public assistance is being disbursed for the child's support?
• The valuation of the services put in by each parent
• The legal responsibility of the father and the mother to support each other
• The child's age
• Whether the child has any special educational requirements?
• The expense of child care and health insurance

Highlights of Divorce Nevada Child Support payments

• The options for receiving these payments are as follows
  • Having the payments deposited directly in the bank account
  • Transferring the payments in a debit card account i.e. Nevada Debit Card

• The concept of Direct Deposit is as follows - this is an electronic payment directly to the bank account of the recipient. Whatever child support payment the child support program has received on behalf of the recipient, the program directs the payment to the account. This is a quicker method compared to the time essential for the check to get cleared in the bank

• The concept of Nevada Debit Card - this is a Visa Debit Card and not a credit card. The payment is transferred electronically to the card account. The card holder can withdraw the money via ATM. It is also possible to make purchases at points where Visa debit cards are accepted

• If an individual selects 'direct deposit' method, he/she must fill in the 'Direct Deposit Information and Authorization Agreement.' On this application, the fax number and address are printed at which the completed form must be faxed or mailed. If an individual does not make a request for direct deposit, then there is automatic issue of the Nevada Debit Card

• The issue of Nevada Debit Card is not affected by the credit rating of the recipient. Although, a person has a bad credit record, this card can be issued to him/her
