Child custody and child support modification

Nebraska child support and child custody modifications require additional court filings. Sometimes there are hearings involved, but many times this can be avoided. In Nebraska the court will generally look to a material change in circumstances and the best interests of the child when considering a change in custody or a change in the parenting plan. Before you can modify child support the court generally requires a 10% change in the child support amount. This change could come from the fact that the calculation formula has changed since you last had child support calculated or it could come from changes in income or other issues.
