No two divorces are the same. Some are highly contested, litigated, and expensive legal actions. Others are uncontested and require the parties to cooperate to complete the necessary legal documents. However, they are the same in that they each come with their own sets of challenges and underlying heartbreak.
In an uncontested divorce, the parties are able to reach an agreement (usually by having conversations in advance), about the disputed issues in their case, including:
- Custody of their children
- Parenting time schedule
- Payment of child support and the children’s expenses
- Division of their assets and debts
- Who will keep the marital home or if it should be sold
- Whether a spouse will pay alimony (and for how long/how much)
If you and your spouse agree on the terms of your divorce, then it’s a matter of determining how you will accomplish the legal requirements necessary to initiate and finalize your divorce with the court.
In Nebraska, uncontested divorces can be accomplished several ways. The most common ways are:
- Do It Yourself: The Nebraska Supreme Court’s website has forms that you can fill out and file with the court. By doing it yourself, you are left to navigate the legal process on our own without guidance or support when you run into questions.
- Hire an Attorney: One party can hire an attorney to draft all of the necessary documents. The attorney will draft the documents and navigate the legal process with you, but this comes with higher fees.
