. . . 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 />

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

(1988)<br />
In Re Applications A-16027 Et Al., 242 Neb. 315, 495 N.W.2d 23 (1993)<br />
[T]he Department (of Health and Human Services) has no power to declare a<br />
statute unconstitutional.<br />

reserved solely to the courts under the division of powers between the legislative,<br />

Constitution.<br />
Harvey v. Harvey, 6 Neb. App. 524, 575 N.W. 2d 167 (1998)<br />
Part and parcel of the notion that a foreign divorce decree, or as in this case an<br />
order of support, may be collaterally attacked in this state is the doctrine of the<br />
divisibility of foreign divorce decrees. “The ‘divisibility doctrine’ holds that<br />
while a state court may have jurisdiction over the marriage to cause its<br />
termination, that same court may lack personal jurisdiction to adjudicate<br />
‘personal matters’ such as support or alimony.” Tiedeman v. Tiedeman, 195<br />
Neb. 15, 17, 236 N.W.2d 807, 809 (1975).<br />
Although a court may have jurisdiction so that the termination of the marital<br />
status is entitled to full faith and credit, this recognition may be withheld from an<br />
accompanying money judgment when personal jurisdiction is lacking.<br />
Hicklin v. Hicklin, 244 Neb. 895, 509 N.W.2d 627 (1994)<br />
An action to annul a marriage sounds in equity. As such, an appellate court<br />
reviews annulment cases de novo on the record.<br />
