“[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.
