She has primary custody but neither of the kids want to live with her. They are afraid if she finds out they told me before action is taken that she will be more abusive towards them. Their grandparents can confirm what they are saying and I have several texts from the kids as well.

You should call the hotline or law enforcement to report this. You may also file for a modification of custody in order to obtain custody of your children. What the children want is a consideration, but not determinate. However, if the treatment by mom rises to the level of abuse and there is... View More

If you have reconciled as a family and your ex-spouse is now providing direct support, either of you can file a Complaint to Modify and reduce the support to zero. If your intent is to remarry you can simply provide notice of that and a Motion to set aside any child support. If he has arrears... View More

There is no "alienation of affection" claim in Nebraska, so no way to sue the other party. Further, if this unfortunate situation results in your divorce, the affair/infidelity has no bearing on the court's decisions either. I wish you all the best as you determine what your next... View More

If you are accepting Medicaid, child care subsidy, or any other public benefit (food assistance, AFDC, etc.), and you do not reside with the father, Child Support Enforcement is going to require him to pay support officially. You will have some input into how much is acceptable, but it will need to... View More

That depends on whether the paternity matter and child support matter are completed or not yet. Typically there is a process involved and it's not immediate. It's relatively inexpensive for you to simply order a new copy of the birth certificate from Vital Statistics if you wish. Best wishes!

If you already have a child support case through the courts that case needs to be listed/identified in the divorce filings so the Court is aware of it. It generally makes the most sense for clarity and future modification needs to have both custody/parenting time and child support ordered under the... View More
