If there is a court order granting a parent specific parenting time, then the Court generally expects that the parties will follow the court order. Whether a parent will be found in contempt for violating this order when an older teenager does not want to follow the court order depends on a lot of... View More

In order to have grounds for a change in custody, you generally need to show that there has been a material change in circumstances and that the change is in the minor child's best interests. If custody is changed from the custodial parent to the non-custodial parent, then the non-custodial... View More
To avoid her possibly staying overnight to see the judge the next day regarding bond, I emptied my savings account to post the $5k bond. It created a bit of a hardship on my end. She has an attorney now. Even though we have already posted the bond and had her released, can we still ask the court... View More

I have never seen the Court lower bond money after it has already been posted. You can generally assign the bond money to an attorney to help cover attorney fees.

Your question is very vague. There is probably a lot of things that you need to do to follow the legal requirements. This could include whether operating your business violates any local zoning ordinances against running a business in a residential area. This could include setting up a legal... View More
I signed legal temporary guardianship to my mother of my son. The state of Nebraska remove custody from me and placed it with the state even though there was a temporary guardianship in place with someone else after time? Is that legal?
answered on Oct 27, 2020
If the State has grounds to remove a child, the State generally gets a say in the placement of the child. This is true even if a parent signs a temporary delegation to someone else in the same time period. If there is an actual court order of guardianship, then this is different. Then generally...

In at-will employment states, employees can be fired for any reason or no reason at all, as long as the reason isn't discriminatory (i.e. based on your race, sex, age, religion, disability). While your situation seems unfair, your employer's actions are not unlawful.
I picked up a felony drug charge last August and were convicted in late February this year. I also note that the juvenile court case originated, in part, on drug use. I also see a warrant in 2020 to search electronic devices for pornography possibly related to my daughters. I will tell you that... View More

You shouldn't post such specific info on a general posting board like this. You should take your question down and contact an attorney that practices in Scotts Bluff County regularly.

You may need to retain a probate attorney to assist you in having the estate divided with the assistance of the Court. Generally you need to retain an attorney where the deceased last lived.

Yes, a parent that is a minor can file for custody of their child. Generally, if the biological parents are minors, then the parents are listed as parties and filing as the next of friend of the biological parent.

Generally a party can remove property from their own property. Do you own the property or are you renting? Do you own the device or is it owned by a provider, such as DirecTv or another provider? Do you have a contract with such provider that has requirements as to what you are to do when you... View More

I am sorry to hear. You should speak with an estate planning attorney to plan the best way to do this, as well as to have a health care power of attorney and property power of attorney prepared for you.

How to track this down depends on what what type of funds you believe were left to you. For example, life insurance proceeds are transferred in a different manner than cash in a bank account. If you believe there may be social security dependent benefits owed to you, you may want to go to your... View More

We have been following the TX divorce decree that has never been changed since we all moved to NE. When my child... View More

Generally the age of majority for child support doesn't automatically change from the original order even if the parties move to a new state. Thus, child support can still terminate at 18 years old even if the child is living in Nebraska if the original order was entered in a state where... View More

Your state should have an office of Adult Protection Services. Call the local police and ask for the phone number. Adult protection services will investigate your situation.
Or can only the client fire the attorney? Actually, I’m wanting the partial amount back due to the friend not living up to the conditions of the loan, not necessarily because of the attorney
answered on Oct 14, 2020
Only the client can fire the attorney and give direction to the attorney on how to represent the client. Further, from your statement here, it sounds like the attorney is performing or performed his or her duties but perhaps the client/your friend is not helping his or her own case...It would be...

What's described sounds like "Fair Use" under Section 107 of the Copyright Act; e.g., criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research are forms of freedom of expression and are likely fair use.
Of course, "fair use" is simply a defense to a... View More
The judge established he should pay $350+ per month (in Nebraska). Will my daughter see any of that money or does the state take it all? Also, the amount seems very high for someone making only 11 bucks an hour. They said the judge set it according to what his "earning potential" is. Can... View More
answered on Oct 13, 2020
Yes, your daughter receives the child support directly. Earning potential means income was imputed at the level he could be reasonably expected to earn. (A parent cannot voluntarily quit a job or work for less money to avoid supporting their child/ren). If the parties reside together in the future,... View More
