Summary

The bill lets the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services set up and enforce child support orders for a biological father of an unborn child when the mother asks for it. Support can start from the month the child was conceived, be applied retroactively, and the amount is decided by a court based on the mother’s and child’s best interests. Any paternity testing must have the mother’s consent and cannot endanger the fetus.
