Abstract

INTRODUCTION|This Article explores Nebraska's current approach to allocation of income and appreciation deriving from separate property. Though Nebraska law clearly distinguishes between separate property and marital property, the law's current treatment of income and appreciation from that separate property is much more muddled. The Nebraska Supreme Court has devised standards to allocate income and appreciation of nonmarital property, but those standards lack consistency and predictability. This Article provides an in-depth analysis of Nebraska's current approach and provides concrete steps for reform.
