Page 2 of 6 – Opposition to Modify Child Support / Alimony
POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
LEGAL ARGUMENT
A child support order must be reviewed by the court every three years upon request of a
parent or guardian. A child support order may be reviewed at any time on the basis of changed
circumstances. A change in 20% or more in the gross monthly income of a person subject to a
child support order shall be deemed changed circumstances. NRS 125B.145.
An order for alimony may be modified on the basis of changed circumstances. A change
in 20% or more in the gross monthly income of a person ordered to pay alimony shall be deemed
changed circumstances. In addition to any other factors the court finds relevant, the court shall
consider whether the income of the spouse ordered to pay alimony, as indicated on the spouse’s
federal tax return from the previous year, has been reduced to such a level that the spouse is
financially unable to pay the amount ordered. NRS 125.150.
