is ordered.
Jensen v. Jensen, 275 Neb. 921, 750 N.W.2d 335, (2008)

Lucero v. Lucero, 16 Neb. App. 706, 750 N.W.2d 377 (2008)
[§ 4-203] of the Nebraska Child Support Guidelines provides that all stipulated
agreements for child support must be reviewed against the guidelines and if a
deviation exists and is approved by the court, specific findings giving the reason for
the deviation must be made.
[§ 4-212] of the Nebraska Child Support Guidelines provides that when a specific
provision for joint physical custody is ordered and each party’s parenting time
exceeds 142 days per year, it is a rebuttable presumption that support shall be
calculated using worksheet 3. Paragraph L of the Nebraska Child Support
Guidelines provides that when a specific provision for joint physical custody is
ordered and one party’s parenting time is 109 to 142 days per year, the use of
worksheet 3 to calculate support is at the discretion of the court.
[§ 4-210] of the Nebraska Child Support Guidelines provides that when there are
visitation or parenting time periods of 28 days or more in any 90-day period, support
payments may be reduced by up to 80 percent.

Molczyk v. Molczyk, 285 Neb. 96, ____ N.W.2d ____, (January 2013)
Under the Nebraska Child Support Guidelines, unless the minimum support rule
applies, a parent’s total support, child care, and health care obligations cannot
reduce the obligor’s net income below the minimum net monthly income for one
person that will exceed the federal poverty threshold.
In a marital dissolution action, to determine an obligor’s net income for calculating
support obligations, a court subtracts the following annualized deductions from the
obligor’s gross income: taxes, FICA, allowable retirement contributions, previous
court-ordered child support to other children, and allowable voluntary support
payments to other children.
