Nebraska statutes lay out a number of factors that should be considered in dividing property through divorce. In summary, however, the court essentially decides what is fair under the circumstances. This can be a difficult question to answer, or to know how the court is likely to rule, which is part of the reason that property division in divorce can be very contentious. Previous decisions by Nebraska judges can provide some guidance as to how a court is likely to view a particular set of circumstances, and an experienced lawyer can provide guidance on what outcomes may be likely in your case.
