Child support limits

[borntosuffer]

Currently all parties live in NV and have done for 2 yrs.

I filed for divorce in CA, and have an MSA with spousal and child support limits set with CA standards and values, in Court in CA is was agreed to and signed off by both parties and the judge that NV would take over and set limits from Feb 1st 2007, I have demosticated my case to NV, and requested to court that my child support be modified to NV limits, I currently pay $2111 per month for my two children, and NV limits would limit that to $754 per child, the court rejected my request, and also a motion I submitted for reconsideration, but didn't say why, what are my option for enforcing the NV state cap on child support limits.

Do I need to submit a writ of Mandamus to the superior court of NV, and do I request the court to enforce the the state cap limits, as the original judge ignored the law on the subject.

NV does not have a law that states that child support is capped at any particular level. NV has child support guidelines that that don't go beyond a certain level, but that does not mean that they are capped, or that a judge does not have the authority to deviate from the guidelines.

However, if you honestly feel that a judge made a legal error in deciding your case, then the proper step is to appeal, if you are within the deadline to appeal. However that really is not something that you can do without an attorney.
