Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

Child support Burden of Proof

My ex is taking me to court for arrears for child support. She claims I owe more, but my records reflect something different. Some of my records are money orders and canceled checks, but I don't have the proof that I paid. Who has the burden of proof, and is it up to the judge?

Re: Child support Burden of Proof

Thank you for your inquiry.

In examining a child support arrearages petition it is best to look at it in terms of what have you paid during the alleged time period. If you have a signed agreement outlining your child support obligation it would be easy to calculate owed payments and your records would act as an offset.

My office handles all child custody and support matters. I would highly recommend you consult with an attorney. Feel free to contact my office to schedule a free consultation.
