Family Law FAQs

  • How is property divided in a Nebraska divorce?

    In Nebraska, property is divided equitably, which means fairly but not necessarily equally. The court considers various factors like the duration of the marriage, contributions of each spouse, and economic circumstances when dividing property.

  • Is Nebraska a no-fault divorce state?

    Yes, Nebraska is a no-fault divorce state, meaning that a divorce can be granted without proving wrongdoing by either spouse. The most common ground for divorce is an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.

  • How does Nebraska determine child custody?

    In Nebraska, child custody is determined based on the best interests of the child, considering factors such as the child's relationship with each parent, their health and safety, and their emotional and developmental needs.

  • Can a child choose which parent to live with in Nebraska?

    While a child's preference may be considered, it is not the sole factor in determining custody. The court will consider the child's age, maturity, and the reasons for their preference along with other factors.

  • How is alimony determined in Nebraska?

    Alimony in Nebraska is based on the need of the receiving spouse and the ability of the other spouse to pay. Factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse's financial resources, and their contributions to the marriage are considered.

  • Is alimony a permanent arrangement in Nebraska?

    Alimony can be temporary or permanent, depending on the circumstances. It often has a set duration and may be modified based on significant changes in either party's circumstances.

  • What is the process for stepparent adoption in Nebraska?

    Stepparent adoption in Nebraska involves filing a petition, obtaining consent from the non-custodial biological parent, and a court hearing to determine the best interests of the child. Background checks and home studies may also be required.

  • Do I need the biological parent's consent for a stepparent adoption in Nebraska?
