What the worksheet asks for
The calculator workflow starts with the selected state, then walks through both parties’ income, assets, debts, and state-specific particulars. Countable income streams feed each party’s formula income; balances and non-automated adjustments are disclosed separately. Common categories include wages, bonuses, dividends and interest, business or company income, self-employment adjustments, existing support obligations, debts assigned by order, health insurance, child care, tuition, extraordinary expenses, and parenting time.
Sources and limits
- Uses Nebraska Judicial Branch Child Support Guidelines Table 1, Income Shares Formula (DC 6:1.7).
- Worksheet 1 uses each parent’s monthly net income, combines net income, applies Table 1 for one through six children, and allocates the basic support obligation by each parent’s monthly share.
- Nebraska requires rounding to the nearest whole dollar under § 4-221; this module rounds final output accordingly through the standard worksheet display.
- Child care, children’s health insurance, unreimbursed health care, alimony treatment, split custody, joint physical custody, subsistence limitation, deviations and other worksheet schedules require the full Nebraska worksheet.
- For combined monthly net income above the table maximum, the top table row is used as a minimum/reference amount and the final order is court-specific.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the official Nebraska court calculator?
No. It is an independent educational estimate. Courts can order a different amount when the evidence, local rules, or statutory deviation factors justify it.
Can I use the output in court?
The worksheet output is designed to be clear and printable, but each litigant is responsible for checking local filing rules and attaching any required official court forms.
