NEBRASKA Part 40

CHILD SUPPORT

Usually, the parent who does not have custody of the children will be ordered to pay money for their support. The amount the Judge orders is based on the needs of the children and both parents' ability to pay. The Nebraska Supreme Court has set forth Guidelines that are to be followed when establishing child support. The Guidelines can be found at http://www.supremecourt.ne.gov/rules/html/Ch4/art2/. The child support paid through the Nebraska Child Support Payment Center is separate from any "gifts" that the supporting parent may give the child.
