Do I need to tell the court in Nebraska if I move?

It is important for the court to have an up-to-date address for you in order to communicate with you if the abuser asks the court to dismiss the order or files to change (modify) it in any way. If the abuser does not know your new address, you can ask the court clerk to make sure that it is kept confidential. It should be kept in a confidential part of your file where the public will not have access to it. However, your new address could possibly be released to court officials in your new state or law enforcement officials in either Nebraska or your new state. If you feel nervous about giving your address to the court, you could file for Nebraska’s Address Confidentiality Program, which would allow you to have mail forwarded to your new address through the Secretary of State.1
