How custody works in Nebraska
Nebraska courts apply the best interests of the child standard and create parenting plans that maximize each parent's involvement.
Nebraska custody cases are filed in District Court. The Parenting Act requires submission of a parenting plan as part of every custody proceeding — parents may submit an agreed plan or each submit their own proposed plan for the court to decide. Mediation is available through court-connected programs, and under § 43-2937, the court may order specialized alternative dispute resolution in high-conflict cases. The court may appoint a guardian ad litem or a parenting coordinator to assist with ongoing implementation of the parenting plan.
Cases from Lincoln are filed in Lancaster County and heard in the Lancaster County District Court, Family Division. The court that hears your case is determined by where the children have been living, not by where either parent works.

Civly is not a law firm and this page is not legal advice. Custody law and the rules of evidence vary from state to state, and individual judges apply them differently. For advice about your own case, speak to a family law attorney licensed in Nebraska. Civly launched in 2026 and is not named in many court orders yet — if your order already requires a specific platform, keep using it and ask your attorney before switching.
