Post Majority Child Support and Visitation In Nevada

On Behalf of | May 6, 2016 | Client Blogs, Our Blog

While the Nevada Family Court has jurisdiction to order support for a child older than 18 under specific circumstances, no such jurisdiction exists to order custody or visitation.

A district court retains jurisdiction to order support for a child until 19 years old, or until the child graduates from high school, but generally loses jurisdiction to issue a visitation or custody order.  In sum, under certain circumstances, a parent could be ordered to pay child support for a child older than 18, but have no rights to custody or visitation.
