Some Divorce Facts You Should Know
Many people are surprised to learn that their divorce will not be granted as quickly as they had hoped. Dissolution of a marriage is a legal issue that involves litigating a legal social contract between the parties. Under Nebraska law, the courts require a waiting period of 60 days from the date the Complaint is served before a divorce can be finalized. When children and complex property issues are involved, the process can take from six months to a year, depending upon the parties' legal positions on marital property, custody and parenting rights, and spousal support issues.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
When custody of your children is involved, Nebraska family law courts require divorcing couples to do everything possible to resolve their issues through divorce mediation, prior to proceeding to litigation if a settlement cannot be reached. Laura A. Lowe is a licensed mediator with extensive experience working with parties to reach an efficient, cost-effective resolution. Under the rules of mediation, both parties must be represented by their own legal counsel throughout the mediation period. Neither party is legally bound to accept the mediated agreement presented by Ms. Lowe and may proceed to litigation with their own attorneys.
