Las Vegas Child Support Lawyer

Child Support laws in Nevada have many different variables that can be directly contingent on several factors such as custody arrangement and the income of both parties. If you have questions about establishing or modifying child support, please contact our office to schedule an appointment with an experienced Child Support Lawyer.

During divorce or separation proceedings involving children, child support is a major concern for both parties. Even post-separation, sometimes it is the desire for one party to request a modification of child support. Needless to say, these matters are usually contested.

In child support disputes, it helps to understand all of the Nevada Child Support Laws. At McFarling Benson, our divorce lawyers know and understand the rules and procedures of Las Vegas and Nevada child support. Child support may be reviewed every three years, or sooner if there has been a material change of circumstance warranting a different level (up or down) of support.

Since child support is for the support and care of your children this is not something that can be taken lightly. Legal representation in this type of dispute can be crucial since the well-being of the children is often at stake.

A child support dispute requires an experienced, aggressive attorney that is capable of going into court and fighting for your rights. At McFarling Benson, our Las Vegas divorce lawyers, have a wealth of experience in child support matters. When all negotiations fail, including mediation, our office is prepared to enter court and aggressively advocate on behalf of our family law clients.

It is also important to note the correlation between child custody and child support. If the parties share joint physical custody, the court can offset the child support based on the timeshare and order the statutory percentage only on the difference in the parties' incomes, if any.

If your child support collection is being enforced by a state enforcement agency, it is usually easier and less expensive to have them enforce the order as they have aditional criminal sanctions at their disposable that are not as readily available to the family court. Adjustments for change in income can also be requested through support enforcement agencies if they are enforcing.
