Knowing the Different Child Custody Arrangements is Important.
- In Nebraska, child custody arrangements can take different forms. Here are the main types:
- Joint Legal Custody: In this arrangement both parents collaborate on decisions related to the children’s education, medical needs, and religious upbringing. To obtain joint legal custody, both parties must testify that they can cooperate and communicate effectively for the children’s well-being.
- Joint Physical Custody: With joint physical custody, the children move between both parents’ homes for specified periods (e.g., alternating weeks; or school year with dad/summer with mom).
- Split Custody: This less common arrangement involves physically separating the children, with each living separately with one parent.
- Sole Custody: In sole custody, one parent has physical custody of the children, while the other parent has parenting time rights.
Remember that custody decisions depend on various factors, including the best interests of the children. If you’re navigating a custody situation, it’s essential to consult with Stephen D. Stroh who can guide you through the process.
The Nebraska alimony statute is outlined in Nebraska Revised Statute 42-365. It provides guidelines for awarding alimony during divorce proceedings, considering factors such as the duration of the marriage, contributions to the marriage, and the financial circumstances of both parties. Alimony is intended to support one spouse when the economic circumstances make it appropriate. The statute also addresses the modification, revocation, and termination of alimony orders.

The second step is to value the marital assets and marital liabilities of the parties. The third step is to calculate and divide the net marital estate between the parties.

It is Important for Parents to Understand that Child Support is a Two Way Street
According to Nebraska Revised Statute 43-1411, a civil proceeding to establish the paternity of a child may be instituted by the mother or the alleged father of such child, either during pregnancy or within four years after the child’s birth, unless a valid consent or relinquishment has been made pursuant to sections 43-104.08 to 43-104.24 or section 43-105 for purposes of adoption1. The proceeding may be instituted in the court of the district where the child is domiciled or found or, for cases under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, where the alleged father is domiciled1. The guardian or next friend of such child or the state may also institute the proceeding either during pregnancy or within eighteen years after the child’s birth.
