Gabriela H., 280 Neb. 284, 785 N.W.2d 843 (2010).
J & H Swine v. Hartington Concrete*, 12 Neb. App. 885, 687 N.W.2d 9 (2004)
Rule: Timing is everything. This case, if anything, may teach the necessity for patience.
For an appellate court to acquire jurisdiction of an appeal, there must be a final
order entered by the court from which the appeal is taken; conversely, an appellate
court is without jurisdiction to entertain appeals from nonfinal orders.
A notice of appeal filed before the trial court announced a “decision or final order”
within the meaning of Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1912(2) (Cum. Supp. 2002) in final
determination of an issue of costs cannot relate forward.
Lamb v. Lamb, 14 Neb. App. 337, 707 N.W.2d 423 (2005)
The Nebraska Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA) does not confer subject
matter jurisdiction upon a Nebraska court to modify a child support order issued by
another state.
This case also includes a good discussion of the differences between UIFSA and the UCCJA
Nebraska v. Storz, 235 Neb. 368, 455 N.W.2d 182 (1990)
Child conceived after the divorce decree was signed but before the parents’ divorce
decree was final is a child of the marriage, and only the court which heard the
divorce has the jurisdiction to address issues relating to the support of the child.
Rozsnyai v. Svacek, 272 Neb. 567, 723 N.W.2d 329 (2006)
Pursuant to Neb. Rev. Stat. § 42-351 (Reissue 2004), full and complete general
jurisdiction over the entire marital relationship and all related matters is vested in the
county or district court in which a petition for dissolution of marriage is properly filed.
Neb. Rev. Stat. §42-349 (Reissue 2004) provides that in order to maintain an action
for divorce in Nebraska, one of the parties must have had “actual residence in this
state with a bona fide intention of making this state his or her permanent home for at
least one year prior to the filing of the complaint.”
A nonimmigrant alien authorized to reside in this country on a visitor’s visa does so
on a temporary basis and on the condition that he or she is not abandoning his or
her foreign residence. 8 U.S.C. §1101(a)(15)(B); 8 C.F.R. §214.2(b) (2006). The
residency restrictions placed on a nonimmigrant alien residing on a visitor’s visa
negates the inference that a nonimmigrant alien intends to reside in Nebraska on a
permanent basis merely because he or she has resided in this state for more than 1
year.
There may be instances where a nonimmigrant alien is able to establish an intention
to reside in a state permanently when the alien has offered proof of that intent apart
from his or her presence in that state.
Small v. Small, 229 Neb. 344, 427 N.W.2d 42 (1988)
A district court cannot acquire jurisdiction over dissolution of marriage proceedings
unless one of the parties is a resident of the county in which the court is located at
the time the original petition is filed.
