The Nebraska child support calculator, is a PDF document that allows a custodial or noncustodial parent the ability to estimate how much they may have to pay in child support payments. Some of the factors considered in the calculation include each parent’s income and certain expenses including child support paid on behalf of other children. The amount you calculate will be just an estimate. The actual child support order may be different.
