NEBRASKA Part 13

A. Voluntary Appearance

The first way to give notice is to have your spouse sign a paper called a "Voluntary Appearance." This is a paper which says that your spouse knows that you have filed for divorce and has received a copy of your divorce complaint. Your spouse should sign this paper before a Notary Public. Your spouse should only sign such a document after he or she has been provided with a copy of the Complaint you filed with the court. Once your spouse signs the Voluntary Appearance, your lawyer will file it with the court. The day your lawyer files the Voluntary Appearance with the court is the official day of notice.
