Nebraska custody cases are decided on the child’s best interests, not a single viral “gotcha” moment. A screenshot from Facebook, TikTok, or Instagram can matter, but only if it’s relevant, properly authenticated, and part of a bigger pattern that affects the child’s safety, stability, or a parent’s credibility. This article explains how Nebraska judges actually weigh social media evidence, why screenshots often get excluded or downplayed, and how to preserve online content the right way without letting it backfire on you.

In Nebraska, these same tools are reshaping how criminal cases are prosecuted and defended. This post breaks down how digital evidence is used in court, what Nebraska law says about warrants and privacy, and what to know if you or someone you know is under investigation.
