2. EACH PARENT'S GROSS MONTHLY INCOME

Excluded child support received, public assistance, SSI and other exclusions under NAC 425.025(2): A $[____]; B $[____].

Imputed income requested for ☐ A ☐ B only if underemployed or unemployed without good cause. Evidence and relevant circumstances under NAC 425.125: [________________________________]

3. TIERED PERCENTAGE CALCULATION

Percentage Table by Number of Children

For each child beyond four, add 2 percentage points to the first tier, 1 percentage point to the second tier, and 0.5 percentage point to the third tier.

Complete a separate column for each parent who is an obligor. For mixed custody, count only the children to whom that parent owes support under NAC 425.115(4).

Children counted for Parent A: [____]; children counted for Parent B: [____].

Calculation

If a parent's economic circumstances limit ability to pay the base amount, record the current court-published low-income schedule amount under NAC 425.145: A $[____]; B $[____]. Schedule year and source: [________________________________].

Obligation used for custody calculation after any low-income determination: A $[____]; B $[____].

☐ Primary custody: Parent [A/B] is obligor and pays the amount above, subject to any court adjustment.

☐ Joint or mixed custody: subtract the smaller obligation from the larger under NAC 425.115(3)-(4). A $[____] minus B $[____] = $[____]; paying parent: [A/B].

4. HEALTHCARE AND ADDITIONAL EXPENSES

Reasonable child-care cost paid by A $[____] and B $[____]; proposed equitable division under NAC 425.130: [________________________________].

Proposed medical-support provision under NAC 425.135 (coverage, payer and cost): [________________________________].

7. DURATION AND TERMINATION

For a one-child order, NAC 425.160 ordinarily ends support at age 18, or, if still in high school, upon graduation or age 19, whichever comes first, subject to other law.

For a multiple-child order, specify whether the order allocates an amount to each child: ☐ Yes ☐ No. If no amount is allocated, a party seeking to reduce support when one child ages out must seek modification by motion or stipulation under NAC 425.160(3).

Child-specific allocation and any applicable exception: [________________________________]

8. NEVADA-SPECIFIC NOTES

• NAC 425.120 permits income to be determined by stipulation or by the court from financial and earning-capacity information.
• NRS 125B.145 permits review for changed circumstances; a 20% or greater change in a person's gross monthly income requires review. A review alone does not set a new payment amount.
• The court's order controls the payment method and any medical-support allocation.
