§ 125B.145. Review and modification of order for support: Request for review; jurisdiction; notification of right to request review

1. An order for the support of a child must, upon the filing of a request for review

by: (a) The Division of Welfare and Supportive Services of the Department of Health and

Human Services, its designated representative or the district attorney, if the Division

of Welfare and Supportive Services or the district attorney has jurisdiction in the

case; or (b) A parent or legal guardian of the child, be reviewed by the court at least every 3 years pursuant to this section to determine

whether the order should be modified or adjusted. Each review conducted pursuant to this section must be in response to a separate

request. 2. If the court: (a) Does not have jurisdiction to modify the order, the court may forward the request

to any court with appropriate jurisdiction. (b) Has jurisdiction to modify the order and, taking into account the best interests

of the child, determines that modification or adjustment of the order is appropriate,

the court shall enter an order modifying or adjusting the previous order for support

in accordance with the guidelines established by the Administrator of the Division

of Welfare and Supportive Services of the Department of Health and Human Services

pursuant to NRS 425.620 . 3. The court shall ensure that: (a) Each person who is subject to an order for the support of a child is notified,

not less than once every 3 years, that the person may request a review of the order

is subject to the order may request a review of the order pursuant to this section. 4. An order for the support of a child may be reviewed at any time on the basis of

changed circumstances. For the purposes of this subsection, a change of 20 percent or more in the gross

monthly income of a person who is subject to an order for the support of a child shall

be deemed to constitute changed circumstances requiring a review for modification

of the order for the support of a child. 5. As used in this section: (a) “Gross monthly income” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 125.150 . (b) “ Order for the support of a child ” means such an order that was issued or is being enforced by a court of this State.
