Sixth Judicial District Court, Nebraska Filing Rules

An ex parte order in a domestic relations case must be supported by one or more affidavits from a party or that party’s witnesses.

Except for statutory ex parte relief, an affidavit supporting a temporary-relief application will not be considered unless served on the opposing party at least 24 hours before the hearing, excluding Saturdays and Sundays from the calculation.

Attorneys may contact the County and District Court clerks to request placement on or removal from the court-appointed list.

The proposed journal entry, order, judgment, or decree must be submitted to the Court for signature within 10 days; the text does not specify when the 10-day period begins.

The Court will consider no more than 20 pages of affidavits at a temporary hearing, excluding attached exhibits, unless good cause is shown.

Before seeking to compel discovery, the parties must personally consult and make reasonable efforts to resolve their differences, and the motion must show that they could not reach an agreement; this applies to pro se parties as well.

Do not provide complete account numbers or other identifying information.

Either party may seek an extension to file or complete property statements by written motion and upon a showing of good cause.

Less experienced attorneys should receive cases within their capabilities and opportunities to expand their experience under supervision.
