You must pay a filing fee at the time of filing your Petition. The filing fee for a divorce is currently $158.00. If you are unable to pay the filing fee and you have a low income, you may obtain permission from the court to have the fees waived.
The duration of payments is determined by a judge in Nebraska family court. Alimony length is usually based on length of marriage - one commonly used standard for alimony duration is that 1 year of alimony is paid every three years of marriage (however, this is not always the case in every state or with every judge).
A final decree of divorce is the court's formal order granting a termination of a marriage. If the case goes to trial and the judge issues a judgment, the judgment is confirmed when the decree is signed and dated by the judge and court clerk.
