What are the legal grounds for divorce in Nebraska? Nebraska recognizes ?no-fault? divorce. In order to file for a divorce in Nebraska, you or your spouse must be a resident of Nebraska for at least 1 year before filing for divorce and you must prove that the marriage is ?irretrievably broken? for it to be dissolved.

Nebraska allows a couple to obtain a legal separation even if only one spouse agrees. A judge will schedule a hearing to consider all factors such as each spouse's assets and debts, income and earning potential, the best interests of any children, and whether there's any possibility of reconciliation.

There are no special rules for uncontested divorces in Nebraska but they are generally the quickest. Unlike with a pro se divorce, in an uncontested divorce, the couple may still hire an attorney to assist in drawing up the paperwork and to negotiate any final issues.

The Supreme Court consists of a Chief Justice and six associate justices. The Chief Justice, who represents the state at large, is appointed by the Governor from a statewide list of candidates selected by a judicial nominating commission.

In Nebraska, there is a 60-day waiting period after the dissolution is filed until the court will grant the dissolution. If there are children involved or if there is any dispute over property, the divorce will most likely take longer. The mandatory 60-day period is considered a ?cooling off? period.

How soon can parties remarry after a divorce or annulment? For purposes of remarriage, other than remarriage of the same parties, those divorced in the State of Nebraska must wait 6 months after the divorce decree was rendered before remarrying (per Nebraska Revised Statutes Section 42-372.01).
