Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
I live in NV. Is there a time limit to collect child support? I thought my ex was out of work turns out he was collecting his retirement(in CA). He owes me 4 years of support for our dtr for high school and our divorce papers state child support through 4 years of college. She is in her second year of college and we found out he was lying about his income. Can I file to collect the past amount and through college? Will my salary impact it if he never filed to alter his owed amount based on an income change?

Nevada law provides: NRS 125B.050 Period of limitations.
1. If there is no court order for support, any demand in writing to a parent not having physical custody for payment of support on behalf of a minor child, mailed to the last known address of the parent, tolls the running of the statute of limitations for the bringing of an action for that support.
2. A motion for relief after judgment and an independent action to enforce a judgment for support of a child may be commenced at any time.
3. If a court has issued an order for the support of a child, there is no limitation on the time in which an action may be commenced to:
(a) Collect arrearages in the amount of that support; or
(b) Seek reimbursement of money paid as public assistance for that child.
