Why Nebraska Divorce Judges Don’t Choose a “Bad Spouse” (And What They Focus on Instead)

Divorce can make you want the judge to “see the truth” and officially declare your ex the bad spouse. Nebraska courts almost never do that. Because Nebraska is no-fault, judges are focused on workable orders about kids, money, and safety, not moral verdicts. In this post, I break down when “bad behavior” actually matters (like child safety concerns or dissipation of marital assets), why chasing vindication can get expensive fast, and how to build a strategy that protects your future instead of feeding the conflict.
