In re Interest of Tamika S. et al., 3 Neb. App. 624, 529 N.W.2d 147 (1995)
The Nebraska Child Support Guidelines apply in juvenile cases where child support
is ordered.
Jensen v. Jensen, 275 Neb. 921, 750 N.W.2d 335, (2008)
[W]e have never held that the absence of a child support worksheet provides a
basis for a collateral attack on a final judgment. Once the [child support] order
became final, even without a worksheet, it was enforceable.
Kearney v. Kearney, 11 Neb. App. 88, 644 N.W.2d 171 (2002)
A court may deviate from the Nebraska Child Support Guidelines whenever the
application of the guidelines in an individual case would be unjust or inappropriate.
Lebrato v. Lebrato, 3 Neb. App. 505, 529 N.W.2d 90 (1995)
A payment to a bankruptcy plan in and of itself is not sufficient to rebut the
presumption that the guidelines should be applied or to require a deviation from the
guidelines to avoid an unjust result.
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.
The parent claiming a deduction for health insurance must show that he or she has
incurred an increased cost to maintain the coverage for the children over what it
would cost to insure himself or herself.
Moore v. Bauer, 11 Neb. App. 572, 657 N.W.2d 25 (2003)
Under certain circumstances, it may be appropriate for a trial court to consider
subsequently born children of a party when determining child support. This
determination is entrusted to the discretion of the trial court. The party requesting a
deviation from the Nebraska Child Support Guidelines based upon an obligation to
support offspring of a subsequent relationship bears the burden of providing
evidence regarding the obligation, including the income of the other parent of the
child or children of the subsequent relationship.
