In Nevada, child support typically ends when the child emancipates. Emancipation usually means 18 and no longer in high school. If you file the necessary motion and have it put on either the UIFSA (child support calendar) or the Family Court calendar, then either the Child Support Hearing Master or the District Court Judge will recalculate your child support based upon 18% of the non-custodial parent's gross monthly income. Unless otherwise provided in your divorce decree or prior child custody agreement, a parent has no obligation in NV to pay for college related expenses
