In Nebraska, the Parenting Act requires mediation for custody disputes when parents haven't agreed on a parenting plan.

If you plan to move your minor child(ren) from the state of Nebraska after there has been a custody order entered or during a child custody proceeding, you cannot just get up and go. Instead, the court that entered or will enter the custody order must give you explicit permission to move with the child. The court will turn to the pivotal Nebraska Supreme Court case Farnsworth v. Farnsworth for guidance as to whether it will grant or deny the request.
In Nebraska, minors between the ages of 16 and 19 can request a judgment of emancipation, effectively allowing them to have more control over their lives and make decisions typically reserved for adults. Emancipation is the legal process in which a minor is granted autonomy and independence from their parents or legal guardians. Despite their age, emancipated minors are treated as adults for various purposes under the law.
