Alimony, adjudication of property rights and explanation of disposition of pension or retirement benefits; award of attorney's fee; postjudgment motion; subsequent modification by court
Status: in_force

Except as otherwise provided in NRS 125.155 and 125.165 , and unless the action is contrary to a premarital agreement between the parties which is enforceable pursuant to chapter 123A of NRS :

1. In granting a divorce, the court: (a) May award such alimony to either spouse, in a specified principal sum or as specified periodic payments, as appears just and equitable; (b) Shall, to the extent practicable, make an equal disposition of the community property of the parties, including, without limitation, any community property transferred into an irrevocable trust pursuant to NRS 123.125 over which the court acquires jurisdiction pursuant to NRS 164.010 , except that the court may make an unequal disposition of the community property in such proportions as it deems just if the court finds a compelling reason to do so and sets forth in writing the reasons for making the unequal disposition; and (c) Shall provide an explanation, or ensure that an explanation has been provided, to the parties of any provision relating to the disposition of pension or retirement benefits that will be included in the decree of divorce or any related order.

2. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, in granting a divorce, the court shall dispose of any property held in joint tenancy in the manner set forth in subsection 1 for the disposition of community property. If a party has made a contribution of separate property to the acquisition or improvement of property held in joint tenancy, the court may provide for the reimbursement of that party for his or her contribution. The amount of reimbursement must not exceed the amount of the contribution of separate property that can be traced to the acquisition or improvement of property held in joint tenancy, without interest or any adjustment because of an increase in the value of the property held in joint tenancy. The amount of reimbursement must not exceed the value, at the time of the disposition, of the property held in joint tenancy for which the contribution of separate property was made. In determining whether to provide for the reimbursement, in whole or in part, of a party who has contributed separate property, the court shall consider: (a) The intention of the parties in placing the property in joint tenancy; (b) The length of the marriage; and (c) Any other factor which the court deems relevant in making a just and equitable disposition of that property. As used in this subsection, “ contribution ” includes, without limitation, a down payment, a payment for the acquisition or improvement of property, and a payment reducing the principal of a loan used to finance the purchase or improvement of property. The term does not include a payment of interest on a loan used to finance the purchase or improvement of property, or a payment made for maintenance, insurance or taxes on property.

3. A party may file a postjudgment motion in any action for divorce, annulment or separate maintenance to obtain adjudication of any community property or liability omitted from the decree or judgment as the result of fraud or mistake. A motion pursuant to this subsection must be filed within 3 years after the discovery by the aggrieved party of the facts constituting the fraud or mistake. The court has continuing jurisdiction to hear such a motion and shall equally divide the omitted community property or liability between the parties unless the court finds that: (a) The community property or liability was included in a prior equal disposition of the community property of the parties or in an unequal disposition of the community property of the parties which was made pursuant to written findings of a compelling reason for making that unequal disposition; or (b) The court determines a compelling reason in the interests of justice to make an unequal disposition of the community property or liability and sets forth in writing the reasons for making the unequal disposition. If a motion pursuant to this subsection results in a judgment dividing a defined benefit pension plan, the judgment may not be enforced against an installment payment made by the plan more than 6 years after the installment payment.

4. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 125.141 , whether or not application for suit money has been made under the provisions of NRS 125.040 , the court may award a reasonable attorney's fee to either party to an action for divorce.

5. In granting a divorce, the court may also set apart such portion of the separate property of either spouse for the other spouse's support or the separate property of either spouse for the support of their children as is deemed just and equitable.

6. In the event of the death of either party or the subsequent remarriage of the spouse to whom specified periodic payments were to be made, all the payments required by the decree must cease, unless it was otherwise ordered by the court.

7. If the court adjudicates the property rights of the parties, or an agreement by the parties settling their property rights has been approved by the court, whether or not the court has retained jurisdiction to modify them, the adjudication of property rights, and the agreements settling property rights, may nevertheless at any time thereafter be modified by the court upon written stipulation signed and acknowledged by the parties to the action, and in accordance with the terms thereof.

8. If a decree of divorce, or an agreement between the parties which was ratified, adopted or approved in a decree of divorce, provides for specified periodic payments of alimony, the decree or agreement is not subject to modification by the court as to accrued payments. Payments pursuant to a decree entered on or after July 1, 1975, which have not accrued at the time a motion for modification is filed may be modified upon a showing of changed circumstances, whether or not the court has expressly retained jurisdiction for the modification. In addition to any other factors the court considers relevant in determining whether to modify the order, the court shall consider whether the income of the spouse who is ordered to pay alimony, as indicated on the spouse's federal income tax return for the preceding calendar year, has been reduced to such a level that the spouse is financially unable to pay the amount of alimony the spouse has been ordered to pay.

9. In addition to any other factors the court considers relevant in determining whether to award alimony and the amount of such an award, the court shall consider: (a) The financial condition of each spouse; (b) The nature and value of the respective property of each spouse; (c) The contribution of each spouse to any property held by the spouses pursuant to NRS 123.030 ; (d) The duration of the marriage; (e) The income, earning capacity, age and health of each spouse; (f) The standard of living during the marriage; (g) The career before the marriage of the spouse who would receive the alimony; (h) The existence of specialized education or training or the level of marketable skills attained by each spouse during the marriage; (i) The contribution of either spouse as homemaker; (j) The award of property granted by the court in the divorce, other than child support and alimony, to the spouse who would receive the alimony; and (k) The physical and mental condition of each party as it relates to the financial condition, health and ability to work of that spouse.

10. In granting a divorce, the court shall consider the need to grant alimony to a spouse for the purpose of obtaining training or education relating to a job, career or profession. In addition to any other factors the court considers relevant in determining whether such alimony should be granted, the court shall consider: (a) Whether the spouse who would pay such alimony has obtained greater job skills or education during the marriage; and (b) Whether the spouse who would receive such alimony provided financial support while the other spouse obtained job skills or education.

11. If the court determines that alimony should be awarded pursuant to the provisions of subsection 10: (a) The court, in its order, shall provide for the time within which the spouse who is the recipient of the alimony must commence the training or education relating to a job, career or profession. (b) The spouse who is ordered to pay the alimony may, upon changed circumstances, file a motion to modify the order. (c) The spouse who is the recipient of the alimony may be granted, in addition to any other alimony granted by the court, money to provide for: (1) Testing of the recipient's skills relating to a job, career or profession; (2) Evaluation of the recipient's abilities and goals relating to a job, career or profession; (3) Guidance for the recipient in establishing a specific plan for training or education relating to a job, career or profession; (4) Subsidization of an employer's costs incurred in training the recipient; (5) Assisting the recipient to search for a job; or (6) Payment of the costs of tuition, books and fees for: (I) The equivalent of a high school diploma; (II) College courses which are directly applicable to the recipient's goals for his or her career; or (III) Courses of training in skills desirable for employment.

12. For the purposes of this section, a change of 20 percent or more in the gross monthly income of a spouse who is ordered to pay alimony shall be deemed to constitute changed circumstances requiring a review for modification of the payments of alimony. As used in this subsection, “ gross monthly income ” means the total amount of income received each month from any source of a person who is not self-employed or the gross income from any source of a self-employed person, after deduction of all legitimate business expenses, but without deduction for personal income taxes, contributions for retirement benefits, contributions to a pension or for any other personal expenses.

Modification of child-support order of another state; modification of child-support order of this State if one party resides outside this State and other party resides outside United States
Status: in_force

1. If NRS 130.613 does not apply, upon petition a tribunal of this State may modify a child-support order issued in another state which is registered in this State if, after notice and hearing, the tribunal finds that: (a) The following requirements are met: (1) Neither the child, nor the obligee who is a natural person, nor the obligor resides in the issuing state; (2) A petitioner who is a nonresident of this State seeks modification; and (3) The respondent is subject to the personal jurisdiction of the tribunal of this State; or (b) This State is the state of residence of the child, or a party who is a natural person is subject to the personal jurisdiction of the tribunal of this State, and all of the parties who are natural persons have filed consents in a record in the issuing tribunal for a tribunal of this State to modify the support order and assume continuing and exclusive jurisdiction.

2. Modification of a registered child-support order is subject to the same requirements, procedures and defenses that apply to the modification of an order issued by a tribunal of this State, and the order may be enforced and satisfied in the same manner.

3. A tribunal of this State may not modify any aspect of a child-support order that may not be modified under the law of the issuing state, including the duration of the obligation of support.

4. In a proceeding to modify a child-support order, the law of the state that is determined to have issued the initial controlling order governs the duration of the obligation of support.

5. On the issuance of an order by a tribunal of this State modifying a child-support order issued in another state, the tribunal of this State becomes the tribunal having continuing and exclusive jurisdiction.

6. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section and subsection 2 of NRS 130.201 , a tribunal of this State retains jurisdiction to modify an order issued by a tribunal of this State if: (a) One party resides in another state; and (b) The other party resides outside the United States.

2. The court shall not enter such a decree if the division is contrary to a premarital agreement between the spouses which is enforceable pursuant to chapter 123A of NRS .

3. Unless modified pursuant to subsection 4 or 5, the court may divide the income and resources: (a) Equally between the spouses; or (b) By protecting income for the community spouse through application of the maximum federal minimum monthly maintenance needs allowance set forth in 42 U.S.C. § 1396r-5(d)(3)(C) and by permitting a transfer of resources to the community spouse an amount which does not exceed the amount set forth in 42 U.S.C. § 1396r-5(f)(2)(A)(ii) .

If either spouse establishes that the community spouse needs income greater than that otherwise provided under paragraph (b) of subsection 3, upon finding exceptional circumstances resulting in significant financial duress and setting forth in writing the reasons for that finding, the court may enter an order for support against the institutionalized spouse for the support of the community spouse in an amount adequate to provide such additional income as is necessary.

7. A person may enter into a written agreement with his or her spouse dividing their community income, assets and obligations into equal shares of separate income, assets and obligations of the spouses. Such an agreement is effective only if one spouse is an institutionalized spouse and the other spouse is a community spouse or a division of the income or resources would allow one spouse to qualify for services under NRS 427A.250 to 427A.280 , inclusive.

8. An agreement entered into or decree entered pursuant to this section may not be binding on the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services of the Department of Health and Human Services in making determinations under the State Plan for Medicaid.

Recovery by person other than parent
Status: in_force

1. The obligation of support imposed on the parents of a child also creates a cause of action on behalf of the legal representatives of either of them, or on behalf of third persons or public agencies furnishing support or defraying the reasonable expenses thereof.

2. In the absence of a court order, reimbursement from the nonsupporting parent is limited to not more than 4 years' support furnished before the bringing of the action.

3. An order for the support of a child creates an obligation for the support of the child and follows the child to the person who has obtained lawful physical custody of the child.

4. A person who obtains lawful physical custody of a child for whom an order for support has been issued shall be deemed to be the person entitled to receive the payments ordered for the support of the child. Such a person may in the same manner as the person named in the order for support of the child and without petitioning the court for a new order: (a) Enforce the existing order for support of the child; or (b) Request modification of the order for support of the child.

5. The transfer of an obligation for support of a child pursuant to this section remains in effect as long as the person lawfully retains physical custody of the child or until a court orders otherwise. If the person ceases to have physical custody of the child, the person to whom the lawful physical custody of the child is transferred becomes the person entitled to receive the payments for the support of the child, unless a court orders otherwise.

6. A person who obtains lawful physical custody of a child and who was not a party to the original proceeding in which a court issued an order for the support of the child that wishes to enforce the order must: (a) Provide the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services of the Department of Health and Human Services with a written declaration, under penalty of perjury, that the person has obtained lawful physical custody of the child; (b) If the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services or its designee has not been responsible for enforcing the order, mail to the obligor at his or her last known address by first-class mail and to the attorney of record, if any, specified in the previous decree of divorce or order: (1) A copy of the written declaration created pursuant to paragraph (a); (2) A statement setting forth the name of the person, the month and year in which the person obtained physical custody of the child and the address to which the payments for support of the child must be sent; and (3) Notice that the obligor must send future payments for support of the child to the person; and (c) If the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services or its designee has not been responsible for enforcing the order, file a copy of the declaration created pursuant to paragraph (a) with the court that entered the order for support of the child and comply with the provisions of subsection 2 of NRS 125B.055 .

7. Upon receipt of a declaration created pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection 6, if the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services or its designee has been responsible for enforcing the order for the support of the child, the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services shall: (a) Mail to the obligor at his or her last known address by first-class mail and to the attorney of record, if any, specified in the previous decree of divorce or order: (1) A copy of the declaration; and (2) Notice to the obligor that the payments for support of the child will be provided to the person who has lawful physical custody of the child until such custody is terminated or until a court orders otherwise; and (b) File a copy of the declaration and notice with the court that entered the order for support of the child.

8. A person who fails to comply with the requirements of subsection 6 does not lose the right to receive payments ordered for the support of the child, but such failure may be considered by a court in determining the amount of arrears owed by an obligor to the person.

9. Notwithstanding the transfer of an obligation for the support of a child made pursuant to this section, any arrears in the payment of an obligation for the support of a child accrues to the person who had lawful physical custody of the child at the time that the payment was due and remains due until paid in full.

10. For the purposes of this section, visitation rights must not be construed as a change of custody.

11. The provisions of this section do not change the legal custody of a child or affect the rights and obligations of a parent relating to a child.

12. As used in this section, “lawful physical custody” means a person who has obtained physical custody: (a) Pursuant to an order of a court; or (b) With the consent of the person who has been awarded physical custody of the child pursuant to an order of a court.

Status: in_force

1. On the motion of a deploying parent and in accordance with the laws of this State other than NRS 125C.0601 to 125C.0693 , inclusive, a court may grant caretaking authority of a child to a nonparent who is an adult family member of the child or an adult with whom the child has a close and substantial relationship if it is in the best interest of the child.

2. In determining whether to grant caretaking authority of a child to a nonparent pursuant to subsection 1, the court shall consider the following factors: (a) The love, affection and other emotional ties existing between the nonparent and the child. (b) The capacity and disposition of the nonparent to: (1) Give the child love, affection and guidance and serve as a role model to the child; (2) Provide the child with food, clothing and other material needs; and (3) Provide the child with health care or alternative health care which is recognized and authorized pursuant to the laws of this State. (c) The prior relationship between the nonparent and the child, including, without limitation, whether the child has previously resided with the nonparent and whether the child was previously included in holidays or family gatherings with the nonparent. (d) The moral fitness of the nonparent. (e) The mental and physical health of the nonparent. (f) The reasonable preference of the child if the child has a preference and if the court determines that the child is of sufficient maturity to express a preference. (g) The willingness and ability of the nonparent to facilitate and encourage a close and substantial relationship between the child and his or her deploying parent, other parent and family members. (h) The medical and other health needs of the child which are affected by the grant of caretaking authority. (i) The support provided by the nonparent, including, without limitation, whether the nonparent has contributed to the financial support of the child. (j) Any objection by the other parent to the grant of caretaking authority to a nonparent. In the case of an objection by the other parent, there is a rebuttable presumption that the grant of caretaking authority to a nonparent is not in the best interest of the child. To rebut this presumption, the deploying parent must prove by clear and convincing evidence that the grant of caretaking authority to the nonparent is in the best interest of the child.

3. Unless the grant of caretaking authority to a nonparent under subsection 1 is agreed to by the other parent, the grant is limited to an amount of time not greater than: (a) The time granted to the deploying parent in an existing permanent custody order, except that the court may add unusual travel time necessary to transport the child; or (b) In the absence of an existing permanent custody order, the amount of time that the deploying parent habitually cared for the child before being notified of deployment, except that the court may add unusual travel time necessary to transport the child.

4. A court may grant part of the deploying parent's decision-making authority for a child to a nonparent who is an adult family member of the child or an adult with whom the child has a close and substantial relationship if the deploying parent is unable to exercise that authority. When a court grants the authority to a nonparent, the court shall specify the decision-making powers that will and will not be granted, including applicable health, educational and religious decisions.
