Child Support Enforcement - Sarpy County Nebraska

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.
