According to Nebraska laws, you and the other parent should consider the following factors when making decisions regarding the development of your parenting plan:
1. The relationship of the minor child to each parent.
2. The desires and wishes of the minor child if of an age of comprehension.
3. The parents wishes.
4. The general health, welfare, and social behavior of the minor child.
5. Any domestic abuse.
6. Development needs of the child.
7. The willingness of each parent to nurture a relationship with the child.
8. The economic welfare of the child.
The Nebraska courts realize you and the other parent know your own situation better than anyone else, which is why this is your opportunity to create a parenting plan that will maintain a family structure that is in the best interests of your child(ren).
