Child Support- Las Vegas, NV

Need a Las Vegas, NV divorce lawyer to help with child support problems?

Child support laws are in place to hold parents financially responsible for their children. In Las Vegas parents may need to provide support until the child is 21 years old, regardless of the parent’s ages when the child is born or if the custodial parent gets married. In most cases noncustodial parents are responsible for making child support payments to the parent that has custody.

A Las Vegas divorce lawyer may be able to guide you through the child support order and can calculate a proper amount that should be paid. A child support order is filed through family courts after a divorce or after paternity is determined. Once payment amounts are determined the court works with local agencies to enforce the arrangement and a child support withholding order is usually used to withdraw payments from the parent’s paycheck. If payments are not made legal actions can be taken by the court to receive payments including wage garnishment, confiscating personal property, or taking support payments from tax refunds.
