How will a change in my income affect my child support payments?

In Nebraska, a change in income can affect the amount of child support payments owed. If the parent receiving child support experiences a significant change in income, they can petition the court to review the existing order and adjust the payments accordingly. On the other hand, if the parent paying child support experiences a significant change in income, they can also petition the court to review the existing order and adjust the payments accordingly. A decrease in their income may warrant a decrease in the payment amount in order to be realistic. When a parent petitions the court to review the existing order, Nebraska’s child support law states that they must provide the court with proof of the change in income. This could include pay stubs, tax returns, or other documents that demonstrate a change in income. Once the court has reviewed the evidence, they will determine whether or not a change in the existing order is necessary. If the court does decide to adjust the payment amounts, they will issue a new order that will take effect immediately. Although a change in income can affect a child support order, it’s important to note that neither parent can make the change on their own. The court must review the evidence and issue a new order for the changes to take effect.
