Can I get a reduction in my child support payments?

Yes, it is possible for a parent in Nebraska to get a reduction in their child support payments. In order to request the reduction, the parent must first file a motion in court with the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, or through their attorney. The court must grant permission before the parent can reduce their payments; there are some exceptions, such as if both parents agree to the reduction. When applying for a reduction, the parent must provide evidence that shows their financial circumstances have changed since the original order was issued. Examples of acceptable evidence include job loss, decrease in income, or an increase in medical or childcare expenses. The court will then review the evidence to determine if a reduction in payments is warranted. In some cases, a court may look at the original order and decide the payments should be lowered based on the circumstances. If the court decides the parent does qualify for a reduction, the judge will determine the new payment amount that is most appropriate. It is important to note that the reduction will remain in effect until the court takes further action. Ultimately, it is up to the court to decide whether or not a reduction in payment is warranted and for how much, so it is best to consult a lawyer or the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services for more information on the process.
