Nebraska Supreme Court

Pearson v. Pearson

April 12, 2013285 Neb. 686

Summary

The court remanded an order terminating the father's child support obligation because the district court did not include the required worksheets or otherwise show the calculations underlying its deviation from the Nebraska Child Support Guidelines. The court directed the district court to reconsider the support modification, including the reasonable transportation costs associated with visitation and the best interests of the children. It held that transportation expenses may justify a deviation, but not an unlimited reduction that leaves the custodial parent without adequate support.
