Nebraska MCLE #234405, 1.5 CLE Hours (OnDemand credit)
This presentation will focus on the Nebraska IV-D child support program including its purposes, policies, and the Nebraska Statutes and case law that provide for the State to proceed or intervene in the establishment and disestablishment of parentage. The presentation will also include strategies for collaboration between private attorneys and State attorneys when handling such cases.
There will be discussion from an IV-D child support attorney about marital presumptions, paternity acknowledgments, genetic testing, and the responsibility of the IV-D program for establishing parentage through each of these methods. The presentation will include discussion about the permissibility of Orders for genetic testing and whether—and to what extent—the IV-D program can participate in the disestablishment of parentage.
