Filing for divorce in January can quietly shape your child custody schedule for the entire year. In Nebraska, temporary custody orders are often set quickly and frequently based on written affidavits, not live testimony. That early schedule can become the foundation of your final parenting plan. This guide explains how January filings affect school routines, holidays, and parenting time—and how planning ahead can help parents keep control during one of the most important moments in a custody case.

Holiday parenting time disputes are incredibly common in Nebraska, especially around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and winter break. When a co-parent refuses to follow the court-ordered schedule, it can feel frustrating and unfair—but you do have options. Nebraska law allows you to enforce your parenting plan, request make-up time, or, in serious cases, pursue contempt. The key is staying calm, documenting what happened, and understanding what the order actually says. If holiday conflicts are becoming a pattern, updating your parenting plan or seeking legal guidance can make future seasons smoother and more predictable for you and your children.

In this post, we explain how the law works, what factors judges actually consider, and how dads can protect their role in their child’s life.
