The requirements for filing for a dissolution of marriage in Nebraska are: 1) one of the
spouses must have been a resident of Nebraska for at least one year; or 2) the marriage was
performed in Nebraska and one of the spouses has lived in Nebraska for the entire marriage.
The dissolution of marriage may be filed for in a county where either spouse resides. [Revised
Statutes of Nebraska; Chapter 42, Section 348].
The only no-fault ground for dissolution of marriage in Nebraska is: Irretrievable breakdown
of the marriage. [Revised Statutes of Nebraska; Chapter 42, Section 361].
A dissolution of marriage will only be granted only if reasonable efforts for a reconciliation
have been made. If the court deems that there is some reasonable possibility of reconciliation,
dissolution of marriage actions may be transferred to a conciliation court or the spouses may
be referred to a qualified marriage counselor, family service agency, or other agency which
provides conciliation services. Official conciliation counselors are available in counties of
over 250,000 persons. [Revised Statutes of Nebraska; Chapter 42, Sections 360 and 808].
