Child Support Enforcement - Sarpy County Nebraska

issued a transfer order, a certified copy of which has been filed in the county court,
sitting as a juvenile court, or in the separate juvenile court.
in 2008, the Legislature enacted L.B. 280, which was intended to expand the
juvenile court’s jurisdiction to include custody determinations for juveniles whom the
court has adjudicated under § 43-247(3).
Under § 25-2740(3), the jurisdiction conferred on a county court to decide custody
issues clearly refers to a county court sitting as a juvenile court because the court
must have already obtained jurisdiction over the child. But § 25-2740(3) provides a
juvenile court with concurrent jurisdiction over a custody determination for an
adjudicated juvenile, not exclusive jurisdiction.
the juvenile court cannot acquire jurisdiction over a custody determination unless a
party has previously filed a complaint for a dissolution or a custody modification in
district court.
Nebraska v. Storz, 235 Neb. 368, 455 N.W.2d 182 (1990)
Child conceived after the divorce decree was signed but before the parents’ divorce
decree was final is a child of the marriage, and only the court which heard the
divorce has the jurisdiction to address issues relating to the support of the child.
Rozsnyai v. Svacek, 272 Neb. 567, 723 N.W.2d 329 (2006)
Pursuant to Neb. Rev. Stat. § 42-351 (Reissue 2004), full and complete general
jurisdiction over the entire marital relationship and all related matters is vested in the
county or district court in which a petition for dissolution of marriage is properly filed.
Neb. Rev. Stat. §42-349 (Reissue 2004) provides that in order to maintain an action
for divorce in Nebraska, one of the parties must have had “actual residence in this
state with a bona fide intention of making this state his or her permanent home for at
least one year prior to the filing of the complaint.”
A nonimmigrant alien authorized to reside in this country on a visitor’s visa does so
on a temporary basis and on the condition that he or she is not abandoning his or
her foreign residence. 8 U.S.C. §1101(a)(15)(B); 8 C.F.R. §214.2(b) (2006). The
residency restrictions placed on a nonimmigrant alien residing on a visitor’s visa
negates the inference that a nonimmigrant alien intends to reside in Nebraska on a
permanent basis merely because he or she has resided in this state for more than 1
year.
There may be instances where a nonimmigrant alien is able to establish an intention
to reside in a state permanently when the alien has offered proof of that intent apart
from his or her presence in that state.
Small v. Small, 229 Neb. 344, 427 N.W.2d 42 (1988)
A district court cannot acquire jurisdiction over dissolution of marriage proceedings
unless one of the parties is a resident of the county in which the court is located at
the time the original petition is filed.
