A Nebraska Order to Show Cause (Child Support) is a court order issued by a court in the state of Nebraska that directs a person to appear before the court to explain why they have not paid their child support. This order is typically issued when a parent has failed to make timely payments as ordered by the court. The order requires the parent to provide an explanation as to why they have not met their child support obligations and sets a date for an appearance in court. There are two types of Nebraska Order to Show Cause (Child Support): an Initial Order to Show Cause (Child Support) and a Contempt Order to Show Cause (Child Support). An Initial Order to Show Cause (Child Support) is issued when a parent has failed to make payments as ordered by the court. This order requires the parent to appear in court and explain why they have not made their child support payments. A Contempt Order to Show Cause (Child Support) is issued when a parent has failed to comply with the terms of an existing child support order. This order requires the parent to appear in court to explain why they have not complied with the order and may result in civil or criminal consequences.
