How divorce mediation often works in Nebraska
These are the topics Nebraska couples most often settle in mediation.
Property and debts
Nebraska divides marital property through equitable distribution, which often means fair rather than equal. Your mediator can help you sort out what is marital and weigh options together.
Parenting plan
Nebraska generally asks divorcing parents to create a parenting plan covering decision-making and time with the children. Mediation is a natural place to build that plan together.
Support
Child support in Nebraska generally follows state guidelines, and alimony depends on each situation. Your mediator can explain how these may apply to you.
Your written agreement
Your decisions are often written into a property settlement agreement and parenting plan submitted to the court. Your mediator can walk you through that step.
Many Nebraska families start their parenting plan in mediation before it goes to the court.
