Can I stop paying child support if the custodial parent is not following the court order?

No, you cannot stop paying child support just because the custodial parent is not following the court order. In Nebraska, parents are legally obligated to follow court orders for child support and when orders are not followed, enforcement actions can be taken, including wage garnishment and suspension of driver’s licenses. When an agreement between the parents is not being followed, the parent who is not receiving the support is encouraged to contact the clerk of court or the County Attorney for enforcement. The court can modify a current court order, but it is up to the court to decide. In Nebraska, the Child Support Enforcement Division (Division) managed by the Department of Health and Human Services is available to help custodial parents enforce their current child support orders. The Division is available to provide services such as enforcing court orders, initiating wage garnishments, locating an absent parent, and helping arrange payment plans. Parents have the right to seek legal counsel to assist them with their child support issues. In summary, in Nebraska, parents are legally obligated to honour court orders and cannot stop paying child support if the custodial parent is not following the court order. Enforcement actions can be taken by the custodial parent and assistance is available to help with enforcing child support orders. Parents also have the right to seek legal counsel for their child support issues.
