NEW NEVADA CHILD SUPPORT LIMITS AS OF JULY 1, 2011

Child support in Nevada is based upon the paying Parent's gross monthly income.  In a case where the mother has primary custody, the father will pay 18 percent of his gross monthly income for one child, 25 percent for two children, and 29 percent for three children.  These amounts, however, are capped at certain amounts for different income ranges.  Pursuant to N.R.S. 125B.070, these caps adjust annually for inflation. Effective, July 1st, 2011, the statutory caps will be as follows:

Gross Monthly Income	Capped Child Support Amount
$0 - $4,235	$630
$4,235 - $6,351	$693
$6,351 - $8,467	$758
$8,467 - $10,585	$819
$10,585 - $12,701	$883
$12,701 - $14,816	$945
$14,816 - No Limit	$1,010

It must be stressed that child support is based on your gross monthly income.  The Court will not consider your personal expenses as a reason to reduce Nevada child support.  The Court will, however, possibly give you a reduction if you support other children or carry health insurance for your child.
