Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

Nevada law

I am planning to get married. My fiancee and I both live in Las Vegas. He already has a home. Am I entitled to half of it if we divorce if he doesn't add my name to the deed? Also, he has a 4 year old that he pays child support. After I am married, does my income get included to his to increase the amount of child support that he will have to pay?

Re: Nevada law

Nevada is a community property state. If your fiancee owned a home prior to your marriage and you use it as your primary residence during marriage you would be entitled to a property interest proportional to the time you lived in the home and the increase in property value.

Child support payments are considered separate obligations. If you'd like to consult with an attorney further about your siutation contact my office to schedule a consultation.
