Tonopah Spousal Support Calculator
Alimony, also known as spousal support, is the court’s way of equalizing the income potential of spouses. Spousal Support is NOT meant to help with childcare expenses, extracurricular activities, or other expenses related to children. That is the purpose of child support. Spousal Support is meant to help a spouse who earns less income, and is reserved for couples who have been married for a substantial length of time.
In 1997, the Family Law Section of Nevada State Bar worked on a formula. After some mathematical testing and a lengthy debate, they came up with the “Tonopah Formula.” The ‘Tonopah Formula was scheduled to be voted on by the next Nevada legislature session. The vote never happened. However, that doesn’t stop some of the judges who are familiar with the proposal from using the formula.
Below is a spousal support calculator which is the Tonopah Formula mixed with our own divorce attorneys‘ thoughts on how the judges like to calculate spousal support. This spousal support calculator is not a guaranteed amount. It is simply a ballpark of how much spousal support a judge may order.
