GET A LAWYER

I dont like the idea of her taking half my paycheck.

An uncontested divorce simply means that both spouses agree on all the key terms of the divorce, including:

child custody and visitation, including where your children will live
child support, health and dental insurance, and medical expenses for the children
tax deductions and exemptions
division of the marital assets and debts
alimony, and
any other dispute involving your marriage.
If you or your spouse disagree about any of these items, your divorce will be considered "contested" and it will have to go to trial.

Nebraska does not have special rules or procedures for uncontested cases. However, uncontested cases move through the system much more quickly. If you and your spouse agree on all the terms of the divorce before you file, you may be done with your divorce in as little as six months. If you can't agree right away but you come to a total agreement later in the process, it will take proportionately longer for the divorce to be finalized, but the overall length of time will still be less than if you'd gone through a full-blown trial.

Then get a lawyer.

Seriously. I get it. It is going to be expensive and you think that they are scamming you. You are wrong.

Not getting a lawyer is going to cost you far more for far longer.

Even if you just get the lawyers to draw up the documents you are better off in the long run. Nothing says you have to appear in court but if there is even a single mistake in your divorce agreement that you drew up yourselves then she can take you to court later to get more money. The only way to protect yourself is to get a lawyer (actually two, she needs one as well or the agreement can get tossed out as being unfair to one of you).

Lawer shill detected.

As long as you fill out the documents the clerk of courts gives you, there will be no mistakes. If you both can agree on the terms, as others’ have done countless times before, it can save both of you a tremendous amount of money — money that could benefit both of you.

Lawyer here, thought I don't live where you live. Where I am, the divorce is just a couple of pieces of paperwork if you're agreed on the actual divorce.

However, if there are kids and property involved, then I would strongly recommend you seeing a lawyer. You might think that you're both agreed on everything, but lawyers are needed for two purposes: firstly, to make sure that everything is done legally and that any transfers of property are actually legally effective, and secondly, to protect you if your ex comes back and tries to fuck you over.

It's up to you whether you choose to take this advice, but you're leaving yourself open to the risk that things could go south in the future and that your clean break really isn't that clean.

>we rent and there no money to fight over

What an absolutely shit councilor you are...

I assume they have furniture and other possessions which need to be divided. Also their respective incomes are considered relationship property.

Also, the word is counsellor, not councillor

Yes, but only if both of your agree completely.

My divorce cost $270 total and with no lawyers. I even took the soon to be ex wife out to indian food after we filed together. Kids get tricky, be careful.

Alright dumbfuck. Lets go straight to the source.

supremecourt.nebraska.gov/self-help/families-children/filing-divorce-nebraska-children-no-custody-disputes-visitation-disputes-or-property-disputes

This is the page for a self divorce with children. Lets see what it has. Oh, look at that! a big box of text laying out exactly what the form works for!

>There are children but custody and visitation have been agreed to by both parties;
>The husband is the father of all of the minor children of the wife;
>The wife is not pregnant and no children are expected;
>There is no real property (real estate), nor an ongoing business being operated by one of the parties, and all other property has or can be divided without argument. The parties are fully aware of all debts incurred during the marriage and have or will be able to agree on who will pay each debt.
>Neither party has a pension or retirement plan with his or her present employer, or from a past employer.
>No alimony will be requested by either party.
>Defendant is not in the military.

>NOTE: (1) UNLESS YOU MEET ALL OF THESE REQUIREMENTS YOU SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO DO YOUR OWN DIVORCE USING THESE FORMS AND INSTRUCTIONS, AND YOU SHOULD NOT PROCEED WITHOUT THE HELP OF A LAWYER. (2) IF EITHER PARTY IS IN THE MILITARY, YOU ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT A LAWYER BECAUSE THERE ARE SPECIAL LAWS THAT APPLY.

You also have to have already completed a Parenting Plan, Child Support plan, and have a legal Custody Agreement completed.

So OP user, unless you and your soon to be ex wife completely agree on how to split everything you own, and agree completely on custody, AND you completely agree on how much child support you are going to pay her (because you said she can take the kids), AND she wants none of your money for herself you are going to need a lawyer ACCORDING TO THE COURT THAT IS GOING TO PRESIDE OVER YOUR DIVORCE.

Unless every single thing I typed applies to you, you need a lawyer.

Look it up... the more you write...

And that’s what OP said, they are both on the same page. If that is truly the case, and they can sit at the kitchen table and fill out the forms to completion, then they don’t, need, an, attorney. (Literally think about that for a few minutes...).

In your paperwork do you think there is any loopholes that could come back in the future? For me it would be the kids but I was the neet (stay at home with kids) and she was the bread winner. I would give a uneducated guess that she would have alimony for me in this situation but only a lawyer would know if that's the case or not. We have a boy and girl so we could split them 50/50.

Thanks user that clears up alot.

I know that is what OP said. It may even be what OP thinks is the truth. In reality, the fact that OP is asking for advice about divorce on Jow Forums means thaey have not actually thought about all of this, have definitely not done all the steps, and they probably will not be on the same page for very long, especially once they get to the child support and alimony part.

If even one thing goes wrong then OP needs a lawyer.

Well give OP credit for when they cannot fill out the forms to completion, that fact would become self evident...

If you can’t do it yourself you can bet over half your check will go to her and the attorney.

Watch MGTOW vids like TFM before doing anything.
