Child Support

So Nevada is a BIG 50/50 custody state. You can’t apply for anything here in Nevada until you have been here 6 months as that will be when you are considered a resident of Nevada. If he doesn’t have a job then it is likely Nevada will order child support to be at 100-150 a month IF that. Nevada can go off of his old income but you have to have proof however anything at minimum wage or under will be the same amount of 100-150. Nevada is also a 50/50 custody state so all dad has to do is request 50/50 custody at a custody courthouse and it is likely he will get it regardless of age of child or breastfeeding or not.

thank you hun. You have no idea how helpful this is. I needed the honest truth. I don’t think I could trust his dad with him to be completely honest. He doesn’t even know how to take care of a baby which is why I was trying to work something out outside of court. I don’t think I’m going to be looking into it now though. That’s not a risk I want to take. I feel like once I’d take him to court, he would try for 50/50 even though he knew I would’ve let him see him and have him once I knew him & I were comfortable with him keeping him without me being there. Thank you so much.

here’s the thing. He could go to court and request custody rights with DNA testing. Normally judges will allow it. Unfortunately, judges do not care how often or how little either parent has been with the child. In a judge’s eyes how is a parent supposed to learn to be a parent with being monitored and watched. As a woman, are we watched constantly when learning to be a parent? Almost never. Why should a single woman with a child by her ex expect that of her ex? It doesn’t make sense.
