NEBRASKA Part 58

Joint Physical Custody can be ordered only of a judge decides it is the best interests of the children. Usually parents must be able to get along with each other in order for joint physical custody to be successful.  More importantly, the children must feel comfortable going back and forth between two different homes on a frequent basis. If you and your spouse fought about how to raise the children when you were together, you may have difficulty making joint physical custody work. Child support could still be ordered if you and your spouse share joint physical custody, as support is determined based upon each parent’s income and the amount of time each parent spends with the children.
