In Re Applications A-16027 Et Al., 242 Neb. 315, 495 N.W.2d 23 (1993)
[T]he Department (of Health and Human Services) has no power to declare a
statute unconstitutional.
The power to declare an act of the Legislature unconstitutional is a judicial power
reserved solely to the courts under the division of powers between the legislative,
executive, and judicial branches of government set forth in the Nebraska
Constitution.
Harvey v. Harvey, 6 Neb. App. 524, 575 N.W. 2d 167 (1998)
Part and parcel of the notion that a foreign divorce decree, or as in this case an
order of support, may be collaterally attacked in this state is the doctrine of the
divisibility of foreign divorce decrees. “The ‘divisibility doctrine’ holds that
while a state court may have jurisdiction over the marriage to cause its
termination, that same court may lack personal jurisdiction to adjudicate
‘personal matters’ such as support or alimony.” Tiedeman v. Tiedeman, 195
Neb. 15, 17, 236 N.W.2d 807, 809 (1975).
Although a court may have jurisdiction so that the termination of the marital
status is entitled to full faith and credit, this recognition may be withheld from an
accompanying money judgment when personal jurisdiction is lacking.
Hicklin v. Hicklin, 244 Neb. 895, 509 N.W.2d 627 (1994)
An action to annul a marriage sounds in equity. As such, an appellate court
reviews annulment cases de novo on the record.
we now hold that in an action for dissolution or annulment, a parent may accept
child support and yet appeal other issues in the decree.
An innocent party is one who "entered into the contract of marriage in good faith
supposing the other to be capable of contracting."
In order to determine the proper meaning of good faith, we look to the putative
marriage doctrine [see § 42-378]. … The putative marriage doctrine provides
that, when a marriage is declared a nullity, the civil effects of a legal marriage will
continue to flow to the parties who contracted the marriage in good faith…. In
other words, a putative spouse will have many of the rights of an actual spouse.
… Good faith, in the context of a putative marriage, means an honest and
reasonable belief that the marriage was valid at the time of the ceremony.
We hold that § 42-378 applies when one or both of the parties are innocent.
