Full question:
I am a resident of Nebraska. My husband is working as a high-level officer in a multi-national company. His responsibilities require him to work overtime on a regular basis and he is paid handsomely for it. Our child support litigation is pending in the court. I want the court to consider his overtime income as a part of his total monthly income. What are the factors the court considers in determining whether working overtime is a regular part of employment?

- Subcategory: Child Support

- State: Nebraska
Answer:
In Nebraska, the court may consider overtime wages for child support if it is a regular part of employment and the employee can expect to earn a specific amount from it. Factors the court looks at include:
- The employee's work history with the employer
- The degree of control the employee has over work conditions
- The nature of the employer's business or industry
In your husband's case, being a high-level officer with authority over work conditions may support the argument that his overtime work is regular.
