Establishing Paternity for Nevada Child Support
In Nevada, child support cases are handled by the Child Support Enforcement Program (CSE) through the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services. If you are eligible, you may be able to receive services which help you establish the paternity of your child/ren.
Why is establishing paternity important?
A child can benefit from knowing the identity of his or her biological father for many reasons:
How can I establish paternity for my child/ren?
You and the biological father may voluntarily sign an Acknowledgement
of Paternity at the child’s birth. If this is not an option, a judge
can declare that the non-custodial parent take a paternity test.
Where can I get help in establishing a court order?
If you qualify for services with CSE, contact your local Child
Support Office for assistance. Private attorneys can also help you
establish a court order for a paternity test in order to establish a
child support order.
How is child support determined?
Nevada child support is calculated based on the number of children
needing support and the non-custodial parent’s monthly income.
