For the Period July 1, 2019 Through June 30, 2020
Pursuant to subsection 3 of NRS 125B.070, the presumptive maximum amounts of child support have been adjusted for the period beginning July 1, 2019.
The Consumer Price Index (all items) published by the United States Department of Labor for calendar year 2018 increased 2.4 percent; therefore, the presumptive maximum amounts originally established and modified annually pursuant to NRS 125B.070 will increase 2.4 percent effective July 1, 2019.
Download Presumptive Maximum Amounts of Child Support July 1, 2018 - June 30, 2019
* Please be aware this is likely the last update that will be provided by the Administrative Office of the Courts. With the passage of Assembly Bill 278 from the 2017 Legislative Session, the requirement that this office perform this function was repealed. At such time as new regulations regarding child support are adopted, expected in the fall of 2019, the responsibility to determine the presumptive maximum will fall to the Executive Branch.
