Nebraska is no-fault and focuses on whether the marriage is irretrievably broken.
You may allege irretrievable breakdown without proving misconduct. The court can also grant a legal separation if you want orders without dissolving the marriage.
Nebraska does not require fault to dissolve a marriage. Conduct can be a factor among many in property division or alimony, but proof of blame is not necessary.
