Your factual situation is unusual. You should speak with a criminal defense attorney. Generally you can't get physical in order to protect your space or property from a roommate without the danger of being charged with assault.

1 Answer | Asked in Child Support for Nebraska on
Q: I pay my child support and my children are in their 40s but my ex keeps all the money and they see none of it.

I thought the court order says child support not spousal support is this legal for her to do?

Julie Fowler
Julie Fowler
answered on Dec 22, 2023

Child support is for support of the children. However, it is owed to the custodial parent, not the children. Thus, if there is back child support, it is owed to the parent that raised the children, not the children.

It includes the people that are stated on the no contact order. If you aren't sure, contact your defense attorney. Ask to clarify so that you don't accidentally breach the no contact order.

If DHHS has taken custody of a child with grounds for emergency custody, then they can generally consent to drug testing of the child without the parent's approval. You would need to speak with an attorney directly to see what applies in your specific situation.

It is ultimately up to the prosecutor whether a criminal case is filed or not. You can't file a criminal action on your own. That being said, you can possibly file a civil action for damages, such as for wrongful death. You would likely need to hire an attorney to assist you with filing such.
