In order to enforce child support payments in Nevada, a parent who is not receiving payments due from the other parent may be able to contact the Department of Health and Human Services Division of Welfare and Supportive Services. The agency may be able to contact the other parent and, if necessary, take enforcement action such as automatic paycheck withdrawals, liens on property or tax refund intercept.
How to File a Complaint
In Nevada, a parent must pay child support if ordered to do so by any state. Child support orders are enforced across state lines by the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act. Payments must be made in accordance with the order that was either issued or agreed upon by both parents unless modified.
