Nebraska lets a custodial parent settle a child's claim without a judge up to $40,000, counted after medical bills, liens, fees and costs
Nebraska's no-court procedure is in the Statutory Thresholds for Settlements Involving Minors Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-3110 and 25-3108. Otherwise the county court can protect a child's money under 30-2630 and 30-2638. A minor is defined in 43-2101 and the deadline is tolled under 25-213.
