The Family Support Division will need to have as much of the following information as possible in order to successfully collect child support for you:

• The full legal name and address of the person who is obligated to pay the child support.
• The date of birth and physical description of the noncustodial parent. Photographs are very helpful.
• The social security number of the noncustodial parent.
• The birth certificate for each child on the case.
• A decree of divorce or legal separation agreement between you and the noncustodial parent, if applicable.
• The name and address of the current or most recent employer of the noncustodial parent.
• The name and address of friends or relatives of the noncustodial parent.
• Any and all information relating to income and other assets of the noncustodial parent.

The Child Support Enforcement Program will impose a $35.00 annual fee in each case where an individual has never received TANF cash assistance and for whom the State has collected at least $550 of child support.

Then an action to establish paternity must be initiated. See Paternity Issues FAQ.

Your case will automatically be referred to the District Attorney's Office, Family Support Division.

If you are receiving TANF , your rights to receive court ordered child support may be affected.

Child support collected on behalf of non-TANF families goes directly to the custodial parent.

We can establish and enforce medical insurance coverage.

Yes. The District Attorney's Office, Family Support Division, can get a court order for child support. However, to get a court order, we must know where the noncustodial parent resides or works.

We can get an order for income withholding and the child support will be withheld from the noncustodial parent's wages or salary. The court order for withholding of the noncustodial parent's wages, other income, or assets for payment of child support applies to all future employers and all future sources of income. However, in order to establish income withholding, we must know where the noncustodial parent works.

Those benefit checks can be attached for payment of support.

The Court will order him or her to find a job and to notify the Court immediately when a job has been found. We can also intercept federal and state income tax refunds from the parent who owes child support.

We can impose liens against real property belonging to the noncustodial parent for the amount of child support which is overdue.

In addition to income withholding, which includes withholding of unemployment and worker's compensation benefits and military and government checks, we can suspend driver's licenses and professional, occupational, and recreational licenses, certificates, and permits.

Any information that you provide us may be reported to Nevada State Welfare and there is no lawyer-client privilege. We must put in our pleadings your name, your child's name, and serve them on the person you are seeking child support from. All documents filed with the County Clerk's Office are available to the public. You can provide an affidavit giving sufficient information to show the court that you or your child's health, safety or liberty are at risk if this information is provided. The Court may order your file sealed in the County Clerk's Office. The files of the District Attorney's Family Support Division are otherwise held in confidence.
