Does the Court always uphold the child support guidelines?
In Nebraska, in almost every situation the Court will follow the guidelines to the penny, especially if there is no dispute about how much income the paying parent makes (for example, they have a salary that does not change from month to month as opposed to a self-employed person whose income can vary dramatically from month to month. The only other variable that the courts have considered and given credit for is for extraordinary ongoing medical expenses on the part of the payor. See Child Support Guidelines.
