Can You Swap Parenting Time in Nebraska for the Super Bowl?

If you’re co-parenting in Nebraska and the Super Bowl lands on “your weekend,” the law usually treats it like any other day: your court-ordered parenting plan controls. That means the parent who has parenting time typically decides what the child does during that time, as long as it’s consistent with the child’s best interests and the plan’s safety rules. The bigger risk isn’t the game. It’s the conflict around it—last-minute demands, late returns, and patterns that start looking like interference. This post explains what Nebraska courts expect, when swaps make sense, and how to build “big event” rules into a parenting plan so you’re not having the same fight every year.
