How long does a parent have to contest a child support order?

In Nebraska, a parent has 30 days from the date the child support order was entered to contest the order. To contest the order, the parent must file a Motion to Modify or an Objection to the Order in the appropriate court. If no action is taken in 30 days the order will become final, and any changes to the order must be done through an Administrative Review with the Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Child and Family Services. If a motion to modify or objection is filed in the court, both parties must appear at a court ordered hearing. The court will then determine if there is a legal and/or factual basis for the motion or objection. If the court agrees with the parent that the order should be modified, then the court will enter a new order with the adjusted child support amount. If the parent is denied in the motion to modify or objection, the order will remain unchanged. It is important to remember that if a parent does not contest a child support order in time, they cannot contest it later on. Therefore, it is important to act quickly and appropriately if there is a disagreement with a child support order in Nebraska.
