⚖ 50/50 Custody in Nevada
Does Child Support Apply With 50/50 Custody in Nevada?
In most cases, yes. Nevada does not automatically eliminate child support with equal parenting time.

Key rules, age cutoffs and what you need to know in Nevada.
FORMULA How Nevada Calculates Child Support
Nevada Revised Statutes Section 125B.070 governs child support. Nevada applies a custody time adjustment factor — if the paying parent has more than 40% of overnights, the obligation is reduced.
AGE When Does Child Support End in Nevada?
Child support in Nevada ends when the child turns 18 — or high school graduation, whichever is later. Support also ends upon the child’s death, marriage or emancipation. Important: In most cases support does not stop automatically — you need a court order. Stopping payments without a court order creates arrears even after the child reaches the cutoff age.
INTEREST Arrears Interest in Nevada
Nevada charges 10% annual interest on unpaid child support arrears. Nevada’s rate of 10% is among the higher rates in the country. There is generally no statute of limitations on child support debt.
ENFORCEMENT Nevada Child Support Enforcement
Nevada has broad enforcement powers including wage garnishment, tax refund interception, driver’s license suspension, professional license suspension, passport denial, and credit bureau reporting. Criminal charges may apply for significant or long-term non-payment.
MODIFY Modifying Child Support in Nevada
Child support can be modified in Nevada when there is a material and substantial change in circumstances — typically a significant income change, job loss, new children from another relationship, or change in custody. Most states also allow a periodic review every 3 years. File a petition with the court — private agreements to change support are not legally enforceable.
