School fees, club sports, daycare, private-school tuition, and medical bills can become significant sources of conflict after a Nebraska divorce. This guide explains how the court order, Nebraska statutes, Child Support Guidelines, custody arrangement, and supporting evidence work together—and why there is rarely a one-size-fits-all answer.

In Nebraska divorce and custody cases, private school tuition, club sports, tutoring, camps, and other child-related expenses can create conflict if the decree or parenting plan does not address them clearly. Our firm helps parents evaluate whether these expenses should be included in monthly support, handled separately, negotiated through mediation, or presented to the court with the right evidence and order language.

High-income Nebraska child support cases often turn less on the chart and more on the evidence: what counts as income, what expenses are already included, and what child-specific needs should be addressed separately. This article explains how Nebraska courts may approach support above the guideline table, including bonuses, RSUs, business income, retained earnings, modifications, and additional child-related expenses.

Military divorce in Nebraska can involve more than the usual divorce issues. Service members and spouses may need to address deployment, parenting plans, child support based on military pay, alimony, military retired pay, DFAS rules, Survivor Benefit Plan coverage, TRICARE, and jurisdiction questions. This article explains the key Nebraska and federal issues military families should understand before filing, negotiating, or signing a divorce agreement

High school graduation is a major milestone, but it does not automatically end child support, custody, or parenting-time obligations in Nebraska. Because Nebraska generally treats persons under 19 as minors, parents should review their decree, parenting plan, child-support order, and any income-withholding order before assuming anything has changed. This article explains how Nebraska’s age-of-majority rule affects graduating seniors, what parents should know before reducing support, and when a formal modification or termination process may be needed.

Nebraska family law questions rarely have one-size-fits-all answers. Whether the issue is custody, parenting time, child support, property division, or keeping the marital home, the outcome depends on the facts, the evidence, and the specific court orders already in place. This article explains why Nebraska family lawyers so often say “it depends,” and why that answer can actually protect you from bad advice.

Unpaid child support can create serious consequences beyond the courtroom, including problems getting or keeping a U.S. passport. In Nebraska IV-D child support cases, qualifying arrears can be certified for federal passport denial or revocation when the amount owed exceeds the federal threshold. This article explains how the Nebraska and federal passport enforcement process works, why a payment plan may not automatically fix the issue, what to do if the arrears amount is wrong, and why it is important to address the official child support record before urgent travel becomes a crisis.

A recent Nebraska child support case makes one thing clear: saying your income dropped is not enough. This article explains what counts as a material change, what proof judges actually want, and why self-employed parents need more than a homemade profit-and-loss statement.

Nebraska child support is calculated under statewide Guidelines using both parents’ incomes, allowed deductions, and the parenting-time schedule. Two Nebraska-specific rules trip people up the most: support often runs until age 19 (not 18), and modifications are math-driven, with a rebuttable presumption of a “material change” only when a new calculation differs by at least 10% and not less than $25, tied to a change that has lasted at least three months and is expected to last at least six more. If you’re dealing with 50/50 custody, summer parenting-time blocks, or a job change, the details of the worksheet and the wording of your court order matter more than most parents realize.
