10. Child Support Amount.

Even if you plan to waive child support, you must calculate what child support would be under the Nevada Guidelines.

Use the attached worksheet to figure out how much child support should be under the Nevada Guidelines. If either parent earns over $6000/mo, use the Nevada Child Support Online Calculator to calculate support and attach that worksheet to this petition instead. Complete and attach one of those worksheets before filling out this section.

The child support calculation would require (name of parent who would pay child support) __________________________________ to pay $________ per month in child support.

We will set child support according to the calculation above in compliance with the child support guidelines.

Child support was already set by the District Attorney / Child Support Enforcement Division and should stay as ordered in case (insert case number) ______________. That order requires (name of parent who pays child support) _____________________________ to pay $________ per month in child support.

We want to set child support at a different amount. The petitioners agree that: ( check one) no one will pay child support / child support will be paid by (name of parent who will pay) _________________________________________ in the amount of $________ per month. Each parent must initial each line below:

_______ _______ The parent who would receive child support is not currently receiving public assistance and has not applied for assistance.

_______ _______ The basic needs of the child are met or exceeded by the agreed child support obligation.

_______

_______ Both parents are aware that if either party seeks a review of the child support obligation for any authorized reason, the court will calculate the child support obligation in accordance with the child support guidelines in effect at the time of the review.

Any child support ordered will be due the 1st of the month beginning the month after the divorce is finalized. Payments may be made directly between the parties, or either party may open a child support collection case with the local Child Support Enforcement Office.
