Parenting Time in Nebraska
In Nebraska, parenting time guidelines provide a framework for determining the amount of time each parent spends with their child. Here are some key points regarding parenting time in Nebraska:
- Paternity and Custody:
- When establishing paternity, custody, parenting time, and child support, it’s essential to follow specific rules and procedures.
- You must file a Complaint for Paternity within 4 years after the child’s birth. If you file after this period, it’s considered too late.
- Generally, the child must have lived in Nebraska for at least 6 months (or since birth) before filing the complaint.
- If the child hasn’t met this residency requirement, consult with a lawyer for guidance.
2. Parenting Time Guidelines:
- The Nebraska Supreme Court provides guidelines for minimum hours of parenting time. These guidelines apply unless there are exceptional circumstances.
- Here’s a breakdown based on the child’s age: Birth to Eighteen Months: Five times a week (daily visits are optimal).
- Eighteen Months to Three Years: Four times a week.
- Three to Eight Years: The guidelines continue to apply.
3. Additional Requirements:
- Parents involved in custody or parenting time disputes must: Complete a co-parenting class approved by the Nebraska Supreme Court and submit the certificate of completion.
- Attempt mediation regarding parenting issues before bringing a contested case to court.
Remember that these guidelines serve as a starting point, and individual cases may vary. Seeking legal advice is crucial to navigate the process effectively.
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.

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.
