NE Code § 43-1743 (2021)
2021 Nebraska Revised Statutes|Chapter 43 - Infants and Juveniles|43-1743 - Consent to income withholding; when allowed; procedure.

43-1743.  Consent to income withholding; when allowed; procedure.Nothing in the Income Withholding for Child Support Act shall be construed as prohibiting a person from consenting to an income withholding order as part of a property settlement agreement incorporated into a decree dissolving a marriage or by agreement in a proceeding in the county court, district court, county court sitting as a juvenile court, or separate juvenile court in which the payment of child, spousal, or medical support is an issue. Any such order or agreement shall be filed with the clerk of the district court who shall notify the person's employer or other payor, if any, of the order or agreement by first-class mail and file a record of such mailing in the court. The income withholding shall be treated in all other respects the same as an income withholding initiated pursuant to section 43-1720.Source   Laws 1985, Second Spec. Sess., LB 7, § 63;   Laws 1991, LB 457, § 43;   Laws 1996, LB 1296, § 25.
NE Code § 43-1801 (2021)
2021 Nebraska Revised Statutes|Chapter 43 - Infants and Juveniles|43-1801 - Grandparent, defined.

43-1801.  Grandparent, defined.As used in sections 43-1801 to 43-1803, unless the context otherwise requires, grandparent shall mean the biological or adoptive parent of a minor child's biological or adoptive parent. Such term shall not include a biological or adoptive parent of any minor child's biological or adoptive parent whose parental rights have been terminated.Source  Laws 1986, LB 105, § 1. Annotations  Under this section, "context" means the context of the statutory language and not the factual circumstances of an individual's case. As such, persons who acted as grandparents but were not the "biological or adoptive parent of [the] minor child's biological or adoptive parent" have no right to grandparent visitation under the grandparent visitation statutes. Heiden v. Norris, 300 Neb. 171, 912 N.W.2d 758 (2018). Although the Nebraska grandparent visitation statutes recognize the interests of the child in the continuation of the grandparent relationship, under Nebraska's grandparent visitation statutes as a whole, the best interests of the child consideration does not deprive the parent of sufficient protection, because visitation will not be awarded where such visitation would adversely interfere with the parent-child relationship. Hamit v. Hamit, 271 Neb. 659, 715 N.W.2d 512 (2006). Nebraska's grandparent visitation statutes are not unconstitutional on their face. Hamit v. Hamit, 271 Neb. 659, 715 N.W.2d 512 (2006). Grandparents' standing is predicated upon their satisfying the statutory definition of "grandparent" at the time they filed their action for grandparent visitation. Dean D. v. Rachel S., 26 Neb. App. 678, 923 N.W.2d 87 (2018).
NE Code § 43-1803 (2021)
2021 Nebraska Revised Statutes|Chapter 43 - Infants and Juveniles|43-1803 - Venue; petition; contents; service.

43-1803.  Venue; petition; contents; service.(1) If the minor child's parent or parents are deceased or have never been married, a grandparent seeking visitation shall file a petition in the district court in the county in which the minor child resides. If the marriage of the parents of a minor child has been dissolved or a petition for the dissolution of such marriage has been filed, is still pending, but no decree has been entered, a grandparent seeking visitation shall file a petition for such visitation in the district court in the county in which the dissolution was had or the proceedings are taking place. The county court or the district court may hear the proceeding as provided in section 25-2740. The form of the petition and all other pleadings required by this section shall be prescribed by the Supreme Court. The petition shall include the following:(a) The name and address of the petitioner and his or her attorney;(b) The name and address of the parent, guardian, or other party having custody of the child or children;(c) The name and address of any parent not having custody of the child or children if applicable;(d) The name and year of birth of each child with whom visitation is sought;(e) The relationship of petitioner to such child or children;(f) An allegation that the parties have attempted to reconcile their differences, but the differences are irreconcilable and such parties have no recourse but to seek redress from the court; and(g) A statement of the relief sought.(2) When a petition seeking visitation is filed, a copy of the petition shall be served upon the parent or parents or other party having custody of the child and upon any parent not having custody of such child by personal service or in the manner provided in section 25-517.02.Source   Laws 1986, LB 105, § 3;   Laws 1996, LB 1296, § 26;   Laws 1997, LB 229, § 39;  Laws 2007, LB221, § 2. Annotations  A grandparent visitation action may be initiated either during the dissolution proceeding or after the marriage of the parents has been dissolved. Rosse v. Rosse, 244 Neb. 967, 510 N.W.2d 73 (1994). A proceeding for grandparent visitation under this section is subject to the Nebraska Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, section 43-1201 et seq. Dorszynski v. Reier, 6 Neb. App. 877, 578 N.W.2d 457 (1998). Note: Sections 43-1201 to 43-1225 were repealed in 2003. Juvenile court is not the proper venue for grandparents seeking visitation rights of children placed in the temporary custody of the Nebraska Department of Social Services, since this section specifically provides for venue in the district court of the county where the children reside or in the district court where dissolution of parents' marriage was pending or was dissolved. In re Interest of Zachary W. & Alyssa W., 3 Neb. App. 274, 526 N.W.2d 233 (1994).
NE Code § 43-1901 (2021)
2021 Nebraska Revised Statutes|Chapter 43 - Infants and Juveniles|43-1901 - Legislative findings.

43-1901.  Legislative findings.The Legislature hereby finds that the large number of confirmed cases of child abuse and neglect places an enormous burden upon the citizens and government of Nebraska because victimized and maltreated children often bear the scars of abuse and neglect for many years and even throughout their lives. The Legislature recognizes that siblings, parents, and entire families suffer from the disruption and turmoil which accompany incidents of child abuse and neglect.The Legislature further recognizes that the taxpaying public labors under the heavy economic burden of paying for the destructive effects of child abuse including subsequent juvenile delinquency, educational problems, adult criminal activity, mental illness, and poor parenting behavior.The Legislature further recognizes that child abuse and neglect is a problem that should be approached through prevention efforts and that society presently possesses the ability to prevent many of these problems before the suffering and social costs begin to mount.It is the expressed intent of sections 43-1901 to 43-1906 to make the prevention of child abuse and neglect a priority of this state and to establish the Nebraska Child Abuse Prevention Fund as a means to that end.Source  Laws 1986, LB 333, § 1.
