Q: I live in California. Daughter is graduating high school in CA end of May 2021 and then turns 18 2nd week of June.
We are relocating day after high school gradation in May. Child turns 18 middle of June. Child support ends 18 or graduation in CA whichever comes 1st. We are relocating day after graduation. Can I file in Nebraska right when we get there for another child support order since Nebraska child support is in effect until age 19?? So, there would be one more year there. Or does child support stop even though we relocate to NE? It's so close on the timing wondering how that process would look if viable. Thank you
A:
When you register an out-of-state child support order in Nebraska, some rules from the original state still apply. This includes the "duration of the child support order." This means that the age of majority that automatically terminates child support from the original state still applies even if you move to Nebraska and ask to modify the child support order here. This is under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (Neb Rev Stat 42-746). There is also a case on this:
Wills v. Wills, 16 Neb. App. 559, 745 N.W.2d 924 (2008)
