individual, whereas disability can be determined only within the context of the
personal, social, or occupational demands, or statutory or regulatory
requirements that the individual is unable to meet as a result of the impairment.
(Gerrard, J., concurring).
Reed v. Reed, 277 Neb. 391, 763 N.W.2d 686 (2009)
[A] child support creditor may use the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (UFTA)
to pursue transferred assets that are needed to satisfy a child support award.
(see also Parker v. Parker, 268 Neb. 187, 681 N.W.2d 735 (2004))
An action under the UFTA is equitable in nature, and all persons whose rights will
be directly affected by a decree in equity must be joined as parties in order that
complete justice may be done and that there may be a final determination of the
rights of all parties interested in the subject matter of the controversy
It has been held that if an action is brought for wrongful transfer and it is possible
to fashion relief which does not adversely affect the transferee’s interest, then the
transferee may not need to be joined in an action for judgment of damages
against a defendant.
“[d]issipation of marital assets” is defined as one spouse’s use of marital property
for a selfish purpose unrelated to the marriage at the time when the marriage is
undergoing an irretrievable breakdown.
Ropken v. Ropken, 169 Neb. 352, 99 N.W.2d 480 (1959)
Nebraska will recognize common law marriages entered into consistent with the law of
the state the parties resided in when such marriage is deemed to have begun.
The validity of a marriage is determined by the law of the place where it was
contracted; if valid there it will be valid everywhere.
Common-law marriages are not recognized in Nebraska by legislative
enactment.
Cohabitation in Nebraska without a ceremonial marriage is meretricious. It is not
evidence of a marital status in this state. It is presumed that a meretricious
relationship having its origin in this state continues to be such. Necessarily, the
presumption follows even when the parties subsequently live in a state
recognizing common-law marriages.
