Methodology
Equitable distribution
Nebraska's §42-365 states that “the purpose of a property division is to distribute the marital assets equitably between the parties,” ordered “as may be reasonable” — there is no statutory 50/50 anchor, and Nebraska case law customarily awards between one-third and one-half of the marital estate. The statute lists four criteria: the circumstances of the parties; the duration of the marriage; the history of contributions to the marriage, including contributions to the care and education of the children and interruption of personal careers or educational opportunities; and the ability of the supported party to engage in gainful employment without interfering with the interests of any minor children in that party's custody.
Division Factors
The following factors are commonly evaluated under Nebraska law:
- Circumstances of the parties (Neb. Rev. Stat. §42-365)
- Duration of the marriage
- History of the contributions to the marriage, including contributions to the care and education of the children, and interruption of personal careers or educational opportunities
- Ability of the supported party to engage in gainful employment without interfering with the interests of any minor children in the custody of that party

Nebraska Property Division
Nebraska's §42-365 makes equitable distribution of the marital assets the purpose of property division and directs an order that is reasonable, weighing the statute's four criteria: the parties' circumstances, the duration of the marriage, the history of contributions (including child care, education contributions, and career interruptions), and the supported party's ability to work without interfering with minor children in that party's custody. There is no statutory equal split; Nebraska courts customarily award one-third to one-half of the marital estate.
