Stacy M. v. Jason M.
Nebraska Supreme Court
858 N.W.2d 852 (2015)
Relevant factsFree
Jason (plaintiff) paid child support for all three children from his marriage to Stacy (defendant) despite suspecting he was not the biological father of the third; after genetic testing confirmed this, he sued to end child support for that child specifically while explicitly declining to disestablish his legal paternity, wanting to preserve his parental relationship with the child he had always treated as his own.
IssueFree
Whether a father adjudicated a child's legal parent may terminate child-support obligations based on genetic testing showing the child is not his without first disestablishing his paternity.
