(2) The termination of child support does not relieve the obligor from the duty to pay any
unpaid child support obligations owed or in arrears.
(3) The obligor may provide written application for termination of a child support order
when the child being supported reaches nineteen years of age, marries, dies, or is otherwise
emancipated. The application shall be filed with the clerk of the district court where child
support was ordered. A certified copy of the birth certificate, marriage license, death certificate,
or court order of emancipation or an abstract of marriage as defined in section 71-601.01 shall
accompany the application for termination of the child support. The clerk of the district court
shall send notice of the filing of the child support termination application to the last-known
address of the obligee. The notice shall inform the obligee that if he or she does not file a written
objection within thirty days after the date the notice was mailed, child support may be terminated
without further notice. The court shall terminate child support if no written objection has been
filed within thirty days after the date the clerk's notice to the obligee was mailed, the forms and
procedures have been complied with, and the court believes that a hearing on the matter is not
required.

In re Petition of Anonymous 3, a minor, 279 Neb. 912, 782 N.W.2d 591 (2010)
Emancipation means the freeing of the child from the care, custody, control, and
service of his or her parents.
The emancipation of a minor may be proved by circumstantial evidence or may be
implied from the conduct of the parties.
Either acts solely initiated and performed by a minor child or acts of a parent
inconsistent with the performance of parental obligations may effectuate a minor‘s
emancipation.
