month by said clerk in cases in which court-ordered support is delinquent in an amount equal<br />

to the support due and payable for a one-month period of time, the obligor shall be subject to<br />

income withholding and may be required to appear in court and show cause why such<br />

payment was not made. In the event the obligor fails to pay and appear as ordered, a warrant<br />

shall be issued for his or her arrest.<br />

(3) If, regardless of whether payments are in arrears, the court orders income withholding<br />

pursuant to Neb. Rev. Stat. § 43-1718.01 or § 43-1718.02, the statement specified in § 6-<br />

1504(D)(2) shall be altered to read as follows:<br />

In the event the obligor fails to pay any child, spousal support, or medical payment, as such<br />

failure is certified each month by the district court clerk in cases in which court-ordered<br />

support is delinquent in an amount equal to the support due and payable for a one-month<br />

period of time, the obligor may be required to appear in court and show cause why such<br />

payment was not made. In the event the obligor (respondent or petitioner) fails to pay and<br />

appear as ordered, a warrant shall be issued for his or her arrest.<br />

(E) Any order for support presented to the court shall require the obligor to furnish to the clerk<br />

of the court his or her address, telephone number, social security number, the name of his or her<br />

employer, and the name of his or her health insurance carrier, if any, together with the number of<br />

the policy and the address at which claims are to be submitted. The order shall further require the<br />

obligor to advise the clerk of any changes in such information until the judgment has been fully<br />

paid. If both parents are parties to the action, such order shall provide that each be required to<br />

furnish to the clerk of the court whether he or she has access to employer-related health<br />

insurance coverage and, if so, the health insurance policy information.<br />

(F) A worksheet showing calculations under the <strong>Nebraska</strong> <strong>Child</strong> <strong>Support</strong> Guidelines shall be<br />

Belitz v. Belitz, 17 Neb. App. 53, 756 N.W.2d (2008)<br />

Oh what a tangled web a court weaves, when it seeks to please unpleasant people…<br />

The trial court in a protracted, messy divorce attempted to extend the appeal time for one of<br />

its earlier orders by incorporating terms of the 6 week old order into a later order, then stating<br />

that the new order only became effective 14 days after it was signed. Only the 14 day delay<br />

was disapproved by the Court of Appeals.<br />

This case includes an excellent summary of other similar and dissimilar cases determining<br />

just what constitutes a “final order” for purposes of appeal. See also the Appellate Practice<br />

section of this outline for additional discussion.<br />

There is no more fundamental jurisdictional precept than the doctrine that appeals<br />

can only be taken from final orders.<br />

Citing Huffman v. Huffman, 236 Neb. 101, 459 N.W.2d 215 (1990)…<br />

Generally, when multiple issues are presented to a trial court for simultaneous<br />

disposition in the same proceeding and the court decides some of the issues,<br />

while reserving some issue or issues for later determination, the court‘s<br />

determination of less than all the issues is an interlocutory order and is not<br />

a final order for the purpose of an appeal.<br />

The trial‘s court attempted 14-day extension of the time in which to appeal was error<br />

as a matter of law and is of no force and effect on the question of whether this court<br />

has appellate jurisdiction.<br />
