Child support may be available to parents who have at least partial custody of their child. The level of child support appropriate in any given case is determined by a number of factors including income of both parents, the number of children, and how much time the child(ren) spend with each parent. There are a number of tools available to parents who are owed child support to help them keep track of payments, and enforce the other parent’s obligation if they are not paying the amount they are obligated to pay. The State of Nebraska may even intervene to help enforce child support obligations if public benefits are involved in the family. To determine if you are entitled to child support, consult with a family law attorney who should be able to give you at least an estimate of what a court would likely order to be paid.
