Services Offered through the Nebraska Child Support Enforcement Department
If you qualify for services with the Nebraska Child Support Enforcement (CSE) Department, you can receive the benefit of the following services:
Locating Parents
If you are unable to find a non-custodial parent and you are trying to
establish a child support order, CSE can assist you. Through new hire
reporting, IRS, credit records, and other kinds of data, CSE may be able to locate a missing parent for the purposes of child support.

Entering and Modifying a Nebraska Child Support Order
Before you can initiate a child support
order through CSE, you must apply for services. If you are deemed
eligible, you need to provide the case worker with basic information
about yourself and the non-custodial parent. CSE can perform a review
of a child support order once every three years. If there is a
substantial change in child support, CSE may refer your case to the
court for a modification. Since only the court can establish an initial
support order, only the court can make a modification in your child
support.
Enforcing Child Support Orders
CSE can help enforce payment of child support if the non-custodial
parent is not paying their court-ordered obligation. The many ways CSE
can enforce child support orders include:
