NEVADA SUPREME COURT CLARIFIES ROLE OF FAMILY COURT

The Nevada Supreme Court has clarified the powers of Judges serving in Clark County Family Court.  In Landreth v. Malik, the Court held that Judges serving in family court have power equal to Judges serving in the general District Court.  Family Court Judges, by way of serving in Family Court, are the only District Court Judges authorized to hear legal matters dealing with domestic relations.


This decision, which was not unanimous, will likely create confusion and initial dispute as to what types of matters may be brought within the Clark County Family Court.

ADJUSTING NEVADA CHILD SUPPORT

Many individuals inquire as to how their Nevada child support can be adjusted.  Under Nevada law, child support may be reviewed every three years.  Also, if the paying Parties' gross monthly income has changed by twenty percent or more then the Court will be willing to re-address the issue of child support.  Support will be set at eighteen percent of gross monthly income for one child, twenty-five percent of gross monthly income for two children, and twenty-nine percent of gross monthly income for three children.


The aforementioned child support calculations are made within certain caps.  Nevada's child support caps will adjust on July 1st, 2011.  While support is based upon gross, and not net, monthly income, Court's will allow typically allow for reductions if you support other children.
