How Nebraska Courts Divide Property In Divorce

Nebraska is an equitable distribution state, meaning that in a divorce, property will be divided in a manner the court finds to be fair. In some cases, this amounts to a 50-50 split of property, but that is not always the case. The guiding principle is equitable, not equal.

Any alimony award can potentially impact the property division arrangement ordered by the court. In some cases, a dependent spouse may also choose to give up his or her claim to alimony in exchange for a greater share of the marital estate.

In order to divide property fairly, it must first be identified and valued. When both parties agree to work together, this can be a straightforward process. However, some property division matters can become contentious and may involve identifying hidden assets and arguments over what is marital property and nonmarital property. Whatever your situation may be, our experienced divorce attorneys are prepared to protect your rights.
