Nevada Supreme Court

Davitian-Kostanian v. Kostanian

August 31, 2023

Summary

The court held that the district court had jurisdiction to consider an award of support for the parties' adult handicapped child, even though support had ceased after the child reached majority. The court remanded for findings concerning the child's qualifying impairment, inability to self-support, and causal connection to substantial gainful activity. It affirmed the denial of alimony modification because a qualifying change in circumstances permits, but does not require, modification and the record supported the district court's decision.
