How the estimate is built
Annual sketch = diff% × max(0, payor − recipient). Monthly = annual ÷ 12. Duration sketch uses marriage-year × band factor.
Example scenario
Payor $135,000, recipient $48,000, 40% difference → gap $87,000 → ~$34,800/year (~$2,900/month). Fourteen-year marriage → mid-band duration sketch.
FAQ
Is there a Nevada guideline formula?
Nevada has no single statewide amount formula used here — courts weigh statutory factors (NRS 125.150). This page is a planning sketch only.
Temporary vs long-term?
This page does not separate temporary orders from long-term awards — map types with your attorney.
Child support first?
Child support affects ability to pay. Model child support separately before locking maintenance.
Tax treatment?
Federal tax treatment of alimony depends on divorce date and agreement terms — not modeled here.
