Divorce Basics - Page 1
Your attorneys cannot advise you concerning whether or not you should get a divorce. More
One of the first things you need to determine before you file a Complaint for dissolution of marriage (i.e. divorce) is whether you have lived in the State of Nebraska for more than one year. More
There are various formal documents which must be prepared in order to initiate a divorce. More
After the "Complaint" is filed, your attorney can file a "Motion for Temporary Custody and/or Allowances." More
The "Complaint", "Financial Affidavit", "Child Support Affidavit" and "Custody Affidavit" (if needed) and "Vital Statistics Form" are all prepared in the first few weeks of your divorce. More
Under Nebraska law, no divorce can be granted until at least 60 days have passed since the date of legal notice (by service of papers by the Sheriff or by the filing of a Voluntary Appearance) to your spouse. More
After the Complaint is filed, the Court can issue "ex-parte" orders (i.e., orders issued by the Court on the application of one party without participation by or notice to the other party). More
Domestic violence has become a pervasive problem and a serious issue for the Courts. Divorce cases are often accompanied by actions for a protection order. More
If there are children involved in your divorce, in order to obtain a divorce in Douglas County, Nebraska, you will be required to attend a seminar entitled "What About the Children?" More
After the temporary hearing, you will probably spend at least a few months separated from your spouse and operating under the terms of the temporary order. More
