What is the Divorce Filing Process in Nebraska?

The divorce process in Omaha. Nebraska, generally takes 8-10 months; however, it can be completed in as little as sixty days.

• It begins with the Plaintiff filing a Complaint for Dissolution of Marriage. Immediately after signing, the plaintiff should serve their spouse with the documents. The plaintiff can either serve the divorce documents directly to their spouse or to the spouse’s family lawyer.
• If the Plaintiff believes their spouse will cooperate, they can provide their spouse with a Voluntary Appearance form to sign and a copy of the complaint. The spouse will need to sign the Voluntary Appearance and return it to the Plaintiff as "proof of service." Alternatively, the Plaintiff may prepare a Praecipe for Summons, which is a document that enables them to have a sheriff serve the documents personally by handing them to the defendant. After the Plaintiff serves the Defendant, the Defendant has 30 days to file an Answer and Counterclaim.
• Be aware that after the Complaint has been filed and the Defendant has entered their appearance, the parties need to determine whether they need a Temporary Order, which dictates the terms of child support, alimony, exclusive occupancy of the family home, continuation of health insurance, and other family law matters.

If needed, temporary hearings can typically be scheduled within a couple weeks of filing of a Complaint, depending on the Court's calendar.
