Alimony in Lincoln: how it is calculated
Alimony in Lincoln follows Nebraska law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Lancaster County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Lincoln case is actually heard.
Where a Lincoln case goes
A divorce filed in Lincoln is heard by the Nebraska court for Lancaster County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Lincoln has about 300,619 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).
