NEBRASKA Part 60

JURISDICTION


Jurisdiction is the authority of the court to hear and decide a case. For example, you or your spouse must reside in Nebraska for twelve months in a row before filing for divorce. If neither you nor your spouse were residents of Nebraska for twelve months before filing for divorce, a court in Nebraska cannot hear your divorce case as it has no jurisdiction to do so.
