Neither of the parties is authorized to interfere with the court‘s orders and only<br />

the court can determine what, if any, adjustments should be made.<br />

Continental Oil Co. v. Harris, 214 Neb. 422, 333 N.W.2d 921 (1983).<br />

[T]he office of an order nunc pro tunc is to correct a record which has been<br />

made so that it will truly record the action had, which through inadvertence or<br />

mistake was not truly recorded. It is not the function of an order nunc pro tunc to<br />

change or revise a judgment or order, or to set aside a judgment actually<br />

rendered, or to render an order different from the one actually rendered, even<br />

though such order was not the order intended.<br />

See also State v. Sims, 277 Neb. 192, 761 N.W.2d 527 (2009)<br />

[T]he general rule that a judgment is no longer open to amendment, revision,<br />

modification, or correction after the term at which it was rendered does not apply<br />

where the purpose is to correct or amend clerical or formal errors so as to make<br />

the record entry speak the truth and show the judgment which was actually<br />

rendered by the court.<br />

Given the discrepancy between the orally pronounced sentence … and the<br />

written entry relating thereto, we conclude that the orally pronounced sentence is<br />

controlling<br />

Neb. Rev. Stat. §25-2001(3) (Reissue 2008) states that ―[c]lerical mistakes in<br />

judgments, orders, or other parts of the record and errors therein arising from<br />

oversight or omission may be corrected by the court by an order nunc pro tunc at<br />

any time on the court‘s initiative or on the motion of any party . . . .‖<br />

Dartmann v. Dartmann, 14 Neb. App. 864, 717 N.W.2d 519 (2006)<br />

[T]he district court‘s ability to discharge an arrearage of child support hinges on<br />

satisfactory proof that a judgment has been fully paid or satisfied by the act of<br />

both parties. Neb. Rev. Stat. §42-369(4) (Reissue 2004) provides, in part, that<br />

―[o]rders, decrees, and judgments for temporary or permanent support or alimony<br />

. . . have the force and effect of judgments when entered.‖ A court may not<br />

forgive or modify past-due child support.<br />

<strong>Child</strong> support payments become a vested right of the payee in a dissolution<br />

action as they accrue.<br />

Where the final decree is silent with respect to accrued, unpaid temporary child<br />

support, it remains a judgment against the obligated parent. However, the<br />

district court may, on motion and satisfactory proof that a judgment has been<br />

paid or satisfied in whole or in part by the act of the parties thereto, order it<br />

discharged and canceled of record, to the extent of the payment or satisfaction.<br />

Eliker v. Eliker, 206 Neb. 764, 295 N.W.2d 268 (1980)<br />

Requests for admissions (made upon the county attorney) were irrelevant, not<br />

only to the proceedings under § 42-358, but to the action brought pursuant to §<br />

42-364.01 as well.<br />

When a court orders the payment of child support, it means to have such order<br />

followed. We cannot be more emphatic in that regard.<br />

Gase v. Gase, 266 Neb. 975, 671 N.W.2d 223 (2003)<br />

The <strong>Nebraska</strong> Supreme Court will take judicial notice of general rules and<br />

regulations established and published by <strong>Nebraska</strong> state agencies under<br />
