What is a withholding order for child support?

A withholding order for child support is a legal document that requires an employer to deduct payment for child support from an employee’s wages and send it to the Nebraska Child Support Payment Center. This is done to ensure that the parent responsible for paying child support makes regular payments to the custodial parent in order to provide financial support for the children. The withholding order is based on the amount of support agreed upon by both parents, or ordered by the court. The withholding order will remain in effect until all payments have been made, the order is modified or revoked, or the child reaches the age of majority. In Nebraska, the age of majority is 19 years old. The employer must begin making the deductions on the pay date that is at least one month after they receive the withholding order. They are also not allowed to increase the amount during the withholding period without written consent from the custodial parent. The employer should also inform the parent making payments of the withheld amounts and notify the custodial parent and Nebraska Child Support Payment Center of any adjustments made to the employee’s pay. The withholding order is required by law and it is important that it is followed to ensure that the children receive the financial support they deserve.
