Parents Need to Protect Their Rights in Custody Cases:
No area of family law brings to the courtroom the tension, anxiety and raw emotion as child custody and visitation litigation. Many factors influence an award of custody, and the way a case is presented in court can have a large impact on the result for you and your children.

As a skilled Omaha Family Law Attorney, I provide excellent, conscientious service to parents with child custody, child support and family-related issues in Omaha and the surrounding cities and counties of Nebraska. Special attention is given to interstate custody and child support cases where the other parent lives in another state.

The Importance of Child Support:
Child support covers everything a child needs, and even more, during the growth and formative years. A parent's first and principal obligation is to support his or her minor children according to the parent's circumstances and station in life, and children should share in the standard of living of both parents.

The amount of a child support award is more than a question of bare necessities. If the child has a wealthy parent, that child is entitled to, and therefore needs something more than the bare necessities of life. Where the supporting parent enjoys a lifestyle that far exceeds the custodial parent's living standard, child support must to some degree reflect that more opulent lifestyle. This is so even though, as a practical matter, the child support payments may incidentally benefit others in the custodial household whom the payor parent has no obligation to support (e.g., custodial parent owed no spousal support, adult children, or children from custodial parent's other relationships). Children are entitled to share in the non-custodial parent’s elevated standard of living despite custodial parent's lower income.
