Divorce in Nebraska is overwhelming because you’re grieving the end of a marriage while being asked to make fast, permanent legal decisions about custody, property, and support. This post explains how emotions like shock, anger, and burnout can quietly affect your divorce case—and what you can do to protect your future while you’re still in the middle of it.

Feeling stuck living with your spouse during a divorce? You’re not alone. In Nebraska, it’s common for one spouse to refuse to move out or cooperate with selling the home, leaving both people living in tension and uncertainty. The good news is that you don’t have to wait until the divorce is finalized to fix the situation. Nebraska courts can issue Temporary Orders granting exclusive possession of the home, setting financial expectations, and protecting parenting time while the case moves forward. If the living situation has become unworkable, there are legal options to help you create space, stability, and a path forward — even when your spouse refuses to cooperate

Co-parenting communication doesn’t have to feel like walking into a text-message minefield. If you’re dealing with a high-conflict dynamic, the BIFF method—Brief, Informative, Friendly, and Firm—can help you stay calm, keep conversations focused on your child, and build a communication record that aligns with the Nebraska Parenting Act. It’s a simple, practical tool I teach to clients across Nebraska because it lowers stress and strengthens your position in any custody or modification case. Read the full guide to learn how BIFF works, why judges care about it, and how to use it in real-life conversations

When your ex is unreasonable, it’s tempting to take them to court “on principle.” But in Nebraska custody cases, constant litigation can backfire. Judges focus on your child’s best interests, not parental drama. The smarter approach is to document issues, offer reasonable solutions, and protect your child’s stability while positioning yourself as the reasonable parent.
