Nebraska Child Support, The Cornhusker StatePosted by Nick Niesen on October 27th, 2010 Child support plays an important role when it comes to caring for children in need. Child support is provided for single parents to make sure their child/children lives a comfortable life style. Child support laws in Nebraska will provide services to help the custodial and non-custodial parent provide for their children. Applying for child support The child support laws in Nebraska will provide assistance on locating the non-custodial parents. There are several methods used for tracking down the non-custodial parents in order to establish child support. These methods are: calling the non-custodial parent?s family, sending address verification letters to the Postmaster, and checking with credit reporting agencies. If the missing parents are currently working, then they will be located and summoned to court to pay child support if they are the legal parent. When the missing parent is located, you must establish paternity to make them the legal parent. By making them the legal parent, you then can establish a child support order. If the non-custodial parent acknowledges the child, then they will have to fill out a voluntary paternity acknowledgement form that is provided at the hospital at the time of the child?s birth. On the other hand, if the non-custodial parent denies claim of the child, then you would need to have a genetic test done to see if they are the biological parent. Once the procedures above are done and the non-custodial parent is found to be the biological parent, you can establish a court order for Nebraska child support.
