When Is Something Really an Emergency in Nebraska Family Court?
Not every custody dispute or family conflict qualifies as a legal emergency. In Nebraska, judges reserve ex parte and emergency orders for situations involving immediate, irreparable harm supported by sworn evidence. This guide explains how Nebraska courts actually evaluate emergency motions, why affidavits often matter more than courtroom testimony, and what parents should file instead when a situation is serious but not truly emergent. Written from the perspective of a Lincoln family-law attorney who regularly practices in Lancaster County, this article helps you protect both your child and your credibility with the court.
