My name is no where on any legal papers

If it is a Nebraska child support order, then there must be a Nebraska court case that created the child support order. If you contact child support services, you can find out the Court Case number. The case number would also likely be on any invoice you receive for child support.

If it is a South Dakota case, the person inquiring needs to speak with an attorney licensed in South Dakota. If this was a Nebraska case, the party would likely be able to reopen enforcement of unpaid judgment established by a court order for child support.
We have child support set. But the divorce papers are asking us to refill out all that information
answered on Feb 24, 2020
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

A party needs specific court permission to move the children out of state. Generally, but depending on the wording of the current order, a party doesn't need court permission to move the children within state. That being said, if the move would effect the parenting time or exchanges, it is... View More
I know I'll have to pay current support but how will the back payments work?
answered on Jan 22, 2020
Technically all back child support is due and owing. There are limits on what can be collected via income withholding on your wages. A typical income withholding is often 150% of the child support. Thus, if your child support obligation is $300, then a typical income withholding may be $450. It... View More

Back child support continues to be due even after the child turns 19 years old. The back child support is owed to custodial parent, not the child. Thus, the back child support continues to be owed, but it is owed to the parent not the child.

If your child joins the military and that is included as an intervening event that would terminate support (child is no longer dependent upon parents for support due to military involvement), then you would want to file a notice that that event has occurred to terminate your support. Your best bet... View More

You would not pay for January... View More

You can file an action to ask the Court to establish paternity and child support. Alternatively, you can contact child support services and request the State file a paternity action now that you have contact information to attempt service on the father.
He had got in trouble in her care.. and is incarcerated and not in the home..
answered on Sep 19, 2019
A person who is incarcerated can be ordered to pay child support. If an order for child support is being established and the person is incarcerated, the Court will likely order a very minimal order of child support, if any.
If a person is already ordered to pay child support and then... View More

Even when a parent has gone a long period of time without seeing their children, the Court will often grant parenting time if requested. It is common for a judge to start with counseling first. For example, the judge would order family reunification therapy where the parent and child first meet... View More

If that is the case the percentage of time I have him wouldn’t really be correct and I would have to pay more child support.

Per the Nebraska Child Support Guidelines, the Court looks at overnights when determining how many "days" a child is with each parent to determine whether to use the joint custody or sole custody calculation for child support purposes.
My s.o’s ex wife has stated she doesn’t want child support, is there a way she can opt out of receiving it and him paying it?

Yes, generally in Nebraska the parties can agree to waive child support. That being said, an exception may occur if the child is receiving public assistance from the state to help support the child. Depending on what type of public assistance the child is receiving, the parent may not be able to... View More
