Child Support Enforcement - Sarpy County Nebraska

Neither of the parties is authorized to interfere with the court's orders and only the
court can determine what, if any, adjustments should be made.
The power of a court to suspend child support should be exercised only as "a last
resort or where it is apparent that to do so affords the only remedy that can
reasonably be expected to fit the mischief.” – citing Biesecker v. Biesecker, 190 Neb.
808, 809, 212 N.W.2d 576, 577 (1973).
As a general rule, the custodial parent's right of support and the noncustodial
parent's right of visitation are entitled to separate enforcement. A failure to pay child
support does not justify a parent's unilateral withdrawal of visitation rights, and a
failure to allow visitation does not justify a parent's unilateral nonpayment of support.
a court may suspend child support payments when the custodial parent deprives the
noncustodial parent of visitation and there is no showing that the children are in
need.
Williams v. Williams, 206 Neb. 630, 294 N.W.2d 357 (1980)
While equitable estoppel may be applicable in delinquent child.support cases, the
mere execution of a document consenting to the adoption of a child, standing
alone, is insufficient to justify.imposing the doctrine of equitable estoppel to deny to
custodial.parent the benefits of a previously entered order of support.
Extradition – Costs
State v. Smith, 13 Neb. App. 477, 695 N.W.2d 440 (2005)
We…find no abuse of discretion in the determination of the trial court that costs of
prosecution (which can be taxed to the defendant) include the expenses of
extradition.
Neb. Rev. Stat. §29-752 (Cum. Supp. 2004) expressly contemplates the
expenses of transportation in connection with an extradition, stating:
When the punishment of the crime is the confinement of the criminal in a Department of
Correctional Services adult correctional facility, the expenses shall be paid out of the state
treasury on the certificate of the Governor and warrant of the State Treasurer and Director
of Administrative Services. In all other cases the expenses shall be paid out of the county
treasury in the county wherein the crime is alleged to have been committed. The expenses
shall be the fees paid to the officers of the state on whose Governor the requisition is made
and shall be equal to the mileage rate authorized in section 81-1176 for each mile which is
necessary to travel in returning such prisoner.
