Even if your spouse is not living in the same county or is
not in Nebraska at all, you still can have a sheriff give your spouse the
papers. The Clerk of the District Court in your county gives your lawyer the
Summons. Your lawyer can then send the Complaint and Summons to the Sheriff
where your spouse lives. This type of service takes a little more time. If your
spouse does not live in Nebraska, there also may be a problem with
"Jurisdiction." This means that the Judge here may not have the power
to make decisions about some of the things you asked for in your Complaint.
There is a more complete explanation of Jurisdiction in Part III of this
handbook.
