How does child support work in Nevada?

The child support laws are contained in the Nevada Revised Statutes at 125B.070. Generally, it is 18% of a person's gross monthly income for one child, 25% for two children, 29% for three children, 31% for four children, and 2% more for each additional child over four. There is a minimum due of $100 per child if the person paying support is unemployed, and a maximum up to $800 per child depending on a person's income. Regular overtime pay is considered part of a person's gross monthly income. There are some guidelines that allow for a deviation from these percentages, which can be found in NRS 125B.080.
