Nevada Family Law Lawyers
In Nevada, child support is fairly straightforward. There is a formula set forth in the law that determines an amount based on parental income and other factors. That formula is rarely deviated from. That is not to say that there are no complications. There certainly are obstacles, but an experienced attorney is able to foresee them and overcome them.
At the Pecos Law Group, our attorneys have more than 15 years of experience each, so we know how to navigate through any complications that may arise in the area of child support. In fact, attorneys from our firm have even played a role in working with the legislature to improve child support formulas. We know the law.
Accurate Income Information Is Critical
The one factor that most often leads to issues with child support calculation is misinformation about income. For most people, income is easily determined by looking at pay stubs and tax returns. The information is out in the open, so there is no real opportunity for these people to misstate their income in regard to child support payments.
However, there are people whose paychecks and tax returns do not reflect what they are making. Small business owners fall into this category; so do card dealers and cocktail waitresses working at Las Vegas casinos, and anyone else who works in a job where a significant amount of their income is made in tips. We know how to work with forensic accountants and other experts to see that there is no income being hidden in an attempt to avoid child support payments. We will pursue a fair outcome for your child, whether your case is the result of a divorce or a paternity action.
High Incomes and Child Support
What if a person makes more money than the child support guidelines address? The guidelines top out at $14,000 a month of income. When a person makes more than that, complications can arise. Our goal is to see that the final outcome is a fair one, regardless of income.
