Can child support payments be reduced or suspended?

Yes, child support payments can be reduced or suspended in Nebraska. A parent may request a modification of his or her child support payments by filing a written request with the court. The request must include information about the parent’s current financial situation and any changes that have occurred since the original court order was made. In some cases, the court may decide to reduce or suspend child support payments if the parent requesting the modification is facing a financial hardship. For example, if the parent has recently become unemployed, or if their income has significantly decreased, they may be able to reduce their payments accordingly. However, a parent cannot unilaterally reduce their child support payments without prior approval from the court. In other cases, the court may suspend a parent’s child support payments if they have a valid reason to do so. For example, if the parent is incarcerated, or if they are temporarily unable to fulfill their child support obligations due to a medical condition or disability, the court may suspend their payments. If a parent is able to prove to the court that their current financial situation will not allow them to make their current child support payments, the court may agree to reduce or suspend those payments. It is important for parents to remember that they must file a written request with the court in order to have a chance of having their child support payments modified or suspended.
