Am I able to self file to ask the judge for a temporary parenting plan? As my ex spouse has completely cut me out of our daughter's life and I'd like to have time with her during the proceedings.
answered on Nov 3, 2022
If it is an original action (not a modification of a prior order), then the Court will normally allow the parties to set the case for a temporary hearing. You are not required to have an attorney to assist you with a custody case. However, you are still held to the same court rules and procedures... View More

A Nebraska attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney as to state-specific insurance practices, the short answer is that they do not usually have to, as protocol followed in most places nationwide.

My 18 year old daughter moved from Nebraska, where she is considered a minor at age 18, to Kentucky, where she is considered an adult, do I still need to go through court proceedings to emancipate her in order to stop paying child support on her?

Check your child support order. Most include the language that child support continues until the minor child attains the age of majority, dies, marries, joins the military or is "otherwise no longer dependent upon the parents for support". You should be able to file a quick Complaint to... View More

For contempt, the Judge must first determine the threshold question of whether the facts as stated in the Application or Motion for Contempt or Order to Show Cause would make a prima facie case for contempt. If so s/he will sign the Order. If not, s/he will decline to sign the Order. If the Order... View More

Yes. If the party that is owed the money wants to forgive the child support debt, the Court will generally allow it. If the party who is owed the money doesn't want to write it off, then your options are often limited and you may likely need to start making payments towards the debt.

You need to speak with your criminal defense attorney about your best options. If I have a client who states they are innocent, I prepare the case for trial and try to gather the evidence to prove the client is innocent. If the client ultimately decides to take a plea deal instead of going to... View More
We have been separated for over a year because of domestic issues. I have gotten my own place to live within that year. He has gotten evicted from his place and now says that I am obligated by law to allow him to stay in my home.. my name is the only name on the lease
answered on Nov 3, 2022
It would be very unusual for the Court to order that you have to allow your spouse to move into your apartment when they are not on your lease and there is a history of domestic violence. If you no longer want to be married, you may want to file a divorce action to end the marriage and your duties... View More
On the pattern itself, it just says for 18-inch dolls. But in the description and search it states AG 143 Hiking Set - Crochet Pattern for American Girl Dolls
This is for the “PATTERN” only Not the completed item!

Your use of the doll trademark to specify that the pattern fits that doll is "nominative fair use" of the trademark. It is not an infringement since you are not selling dolls or competing with the trademark owner, just informing the pattern market what doll yours fits.
Is my employer required to retroactively pay me due to the payroll employee just not paying me that amount bc she didn't think I should get that.
answered on Aug 2, 2022
You should first discuss the situation with the individual that told you that you would receive compensation at the higher rate. If they don't agree to retroactive payments, then you should contact a Nebraska employment attorney. While the email you mentioned is not a contract, you may want... View More

This might be two different questions from reading the above:

You would be well served to schedule a consultation with an attorney and bring in the notice of hearing you received. A Nebraska attorney can review the document and access the public court file and tell you what the hearing is about. For example, has your ex filed for a hearing on the protection... View More

answered on Jun 11, 2022
There are a number of options here depending on the specific circumstances of your case. Law enforcement is sometimes the last resort. Sometimes law enforcement won't assist without a further court order. Depending on the circumstances, you may need to get an order stating that law... View More
We have been told to vacate our rental within 30 days. We were notified shortly after an ongoing plumbing issue was addressed. We have faithfully paid rent despite the repairs our landlord had failed to do, minus the one my husband did because of the fire hazard and lack of smoke detectors. We do... View More
answered on Jun 11, 2022
It depends in large part on the terms of your lease agreement. If your lease is up and the lease only requires your landlord to now give 30 days notice to vacate, it may be within the property owner's rights to ask you to leave in accordance with the terms of the lease. You would need to... View More

If you purchased a vehicle that you at least knew had a salvage title, you would have known that some major repairs had to have been done on the vehicle in order to make it operational again after a total loss. You will want to review your purchase agreement in detail. If the vehicle was... View More
