Nebraska

Fathers rights in Nebraska give dads the same rights and considerations afforded to mothers. Laws protecting your rights relate to paternity, custody and child support.

Paternity: You have the right to seek a determination or paternity. Tests will be ordered, and if you are proved to be the father, you will have equal rights in making key decisions such as whether or not to put the child up for adoption.

Custody: You have the right to seek custody of your children. Custody takes many forms. You may receive sole or joint legal and physical custody or simple legal custody that guarantees consistent visitation with your kids. When you have any type of custody, your legal rights to be involved in all major decisions regarding your children are protected.

Child Support: Your Nebraska fathers rights allow you to seek child support from the mother of the children. The court will do a financial evaluation and the level of child support payments will be determined. Many Nebraska fathers receive child support for the children they have sole or joint custody of.

These are your Nebraska fathers rights. If you are having trouble obtaining them, consult a lawyer with expertise in working for fathers rights in Nebraska.
