The only no-fault ground for dissolution of marriage in Nebraska is: Irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. [Revised Statutes of Nebraska; Chapter 42, Section 361]. A dissolution of marriage will only be granted only if reasonable efforts for a reconciliation have been made. If the court deems that there is some reasonable possibility of reconciliation, dissolution of marriage actions may be transferred to a conciliation court or the spouses may be referred to a qualified marriage counselor, family service agency, or other agency which provides conciliation services. Official conciliation counselors are available in counties of over 250,000 persons. [Revised Statutes of Nebraska; Chapter 42, Sections 360 and 808].
