Will it be more beneficial for him to go to court and establish a custody agreement? Is there a chance he could receive full custody if he has a full time job/place to live/clean record?

The NE alimony statue says, "A decree may not be modified to award additional alimony if the entire amount of alimony allowed in the original decree had accrued before the date of filing of the complaint to modify."
Is this a correct interpretation? Thank you.
It is a creative interpretation and could be argued to prevent further alimony.
On the other hand, the statute generally means that if alimony was paid off monthly and all monthly payments were made, you are too late to file a modification to increase or extend alimony.

We live in nebraska and both agree on the matter. We live together, share the bills and raise the child together. We no longer want to have child support taken out of check and deposited into our account. how can we close the child support case?
It depends on whether the State or public assistance is involved in your children and your lives.

If a child is in foster care and runs away, the State generally has an obligation to make attempts to retrieve the child and then often has additional restrictions placed on the child so the child doesn't run away again. Encouraging or assisting a child to run away can be charged as a crime.
