What Nebraska expects
Nebraska's Parenting Act requires a parenting plan in every case and mandates parenting education. The Act enumerates required plan contents including a communication protocol and a process for resolving disagreements.
Governing law: Neb. Rev. Stat. § 43-2929 (Parenting Act).
Nebraska requires its own form — Parenting Plan (required by the Parenting Act). Agree your terms first, then transcribe them onto it.
The honest trade-off
The simplest 50/50 schedule to run and the easiest to explain to a child — but a week is a long time away from a parent for a young child, and one forgotten backpack can strand a school project for seven days. Most plans using it add a midweek dinner or call with the other parent.
