Property Division in Nebraska (Equitable Distribution)

Nebraska is an equitable distribution state. Division of assets and debts is to be fair, but not always equal. Most of the time, a court will order an even fifty-fifty division of marital property, with each spouse receiving a minimum of one-third of the estate. Equitable distribution in Nebraska is analyzed as follows:

Identifying separate property, marital property, and debt: Property acquired during the marriage is a marital asset. Exceptions include inheritances and gifts intended for one spouse and the appreciation of property one spouse brought into the marriage and maintained as separate property. Debts incurred by either spouse during the marriage are marital debts unless shown not to be.

Valuation of property and debts: I will see that all marital assets and debts are valued. This is a very important step.

Division of assets and debts: I will see that the marital estate is divided appropriately and evenly.
