What is the scope of a divorce decree in a military divorce?
In Nebraska, a divorce decree in a military divorce is a formal, written agreement that states the terms and conditions for ending the marriage. The decree is legally binding on both parties, and it outlines the rights and obligations of each spouse during the divorce process, as well as after the divorce is finalized. The scope of a divorce decree includes, but is not limited to: the division of marital property and debts, spousal support, child custody, and child support. Marital property and debts are typically divided in a way that is “equitable” rather than “equal”, meaning that the court will consider a variety of factors in dividing the assets and debts in a way that is fair to each party. Similarly, the amount and duration of spousal support can be determined by the court depending on a variety of factors. Child custody and child support will also be addressed in the divorce decree. Child custody is the legal arrangement regarding parenting time for each parent. Child support is a payment made by one parent to the other to cover some or all of the costs of raising children. The amount is determined by state law. In addition to these issues, a divorce decree may also include other provisions such as a stipulation for the payment of attorney’s fees, a no-contact or restraining order, a health insurance provision, as well as a provision for the payment of alimony. All of these provisions must be proper and legal for the divorce to be valid.
