I already did subpoena the other party for fin info and got most of what i requested. I was asking how I could do this with institutions for the info they chose not to disclose.
I wouldn't call this complex, considering I've done all the legwork on my own and have gotten the hearing scheduled in front of a referee that solely focuses on Child support issues.
Referee? I divorced in Nebraska and have child support order there. I haven't heard of a referee. Do you mean a mediator? Child support modification should go in front of a judge. I had to go to court to modify the order to relocate my daughter with me.

- When can I ask to have my order changed?
All Nebraska IV-D court orders or foreign orders registered under UIFSA or RURESA in Nebraska are eligible for a review for possible modification of the child support amount and inclusion of health care coverage if the following criteria are met:
- The order is for current support;
- The order is an active Nebraska order;
- Nebraska maintains continuing exclusive jurisdiction under UIFSA or is the proper state to acquire continuing exclusive jurisdiction under UIFSA for the support order;
- At least one party resides in Nebraska;
- The location of all parties involved is known;
- The non-custodial party is not institutionalized or incarcerated;
- The order is not a tribal order;
- The youngest child in the order will not reach the age of majority within the next 12 months;
- The order is not registered for income withholding only; and
- The order does not require a change in custody to effectuate the modification of support.
An order will not be reviewed by the Department or County/Authorized Attorney if it has not been three years since the present child support obligation was ordered unless:
a. The newly calculated child support and current support obligations vary by the percentage determined by the Nebraska Supreme Court and the variance is due to financial circumstances which have lasted three months and can be reasonably expected to last an additional six months;
b. Health care coverage is available to either party and the child(ren) do not have health care coverage other than the Medical Assistance Program under the Medical Assistance Act;
c. The requesting party demonstrates a substantial change in circumstances that has lasted for at least three months and is expected to last an additional six months;
d. The present child support obligation does not provide for health care coverage; or
e. Such review is required by Title IV-D of the Social Security Act, as amended.
An order may be reviewed one year after the most recent request for review if: the Department's determination after the previous review was not to refer to the County/Authorized Attorney for filing an application for modification because financial circumstances had not lasted for three months or were not expected to last for an additional six months; it has been three years since the present child support obligation was entered; and no exception under 466 NAC 8-002.01 section 1 a through e requires an earlier review.
- How do I request the change?
A party to a court order may request in writing or by calling the Nebraska Child Support Customer Service Call Center at 1-877-631-9973, option 2. A review of a child support order can be requested by either parent or initiated by the IV-D agency. A review and modification packet is sent to the requesting party (in agency initiated cases the packet is sent to the CP receiving public assistance) to complete and return.
