How to File for Divorce in Nebraska?

Here is how you may dissolve your marriage in the state of Nebraska:

1. Fill out several documents required for every individual that plans to initiate the divorce process . You will need to complete a marriage dissolution complaint (choose the correct form depending on whether you have children together or not) and disclose your personal details and employment information.
2. Submit the paperwork to the district court clerk paying the filing fee . Make sure you select the right county - either you or your spouse has to be a permanent resident there. Once this is done, the other spouse has to obtain the copies of the files - you may ask a sheriff to deliver a summons to them giving the recipient a month to respond to the claims the complaint contains.
3. Draft a Nebraska Divorce Agreement after negotiating it with your partner . Do not forget to disclose all the property you own jointly and separately. Besides, you are obliged to prepare a plan for co-parenting and take parenting classes to help your children go through a challenging period in their lives.
4. Find out when your case will be reviewed by the judge - if you have not received information from the court, reach out to a clerk. There are at least two months between the day both spouses learn about the divorce and the hearing so you will have enough time to prepare whatever is needed for your case.
5. Come to the hearing with the dissolution of marriage decree completed and signed by the person that started the proceedings - if the judge is satisfied with all the terms of the separation, they will sign this document - however, note that the divorce is finalized in thirty days.
