STATE GUIDE · UPDATED 2026
Every OurPrenup agreement is built for the laws where you live.
Start your Nebraska prenupYes — prenuptial agreements are legally enforceable in Nebraska under the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (UPAA) (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 42-1001). To be valid, the agreement must be in writing, signed voluntarily by both partners, and made with fair financial disclosure. It should be notarized (strongly recommended, though not legally required), and both partners should have a real opportunity to review it well before the wedding.
Courts divide marital property fairly (not necessarily equally) unless your agreement says otherwise.
Yes. Nebraska enforces prenuptial agreements under the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (UPAA). The governing law is Neb. Rev. Stat. § 42-1001. The agreement must be in writing and signed by both partners, entered into voluntarily, and made with fair financial disclosure.
Notarization is not strictly required in Nebraska, but strongly recommended — a notarized agreement is significantly harder to challenge in court, and OurPrenup's Nebraska signing instructions include it.
No — Nebraska does not require witnesses for a prenuptial agreement. Both partners' signatures (ideally notarized) are what matter.
No — Nebraska does not require either partner to hire a lawyer for a valid prenup. Independent review is still recommended, and every OurPrenup agreement documents that both partners had the opportunity to seek counsel.
No. Nebraska is an equitable distribution state — without an agreement, courts divide marital property "fairly," which is not necessarily equally. A prenup replaces that uncertainty with rules you both chose.
Yes — Nebraska allows couples to set, limit, or waive spousal support in a prenup, subject to fairness review and statutory safety valves that protect a spouse from being left in hardship. OurPrenup offers a full waiver, payment formulas with amounts you choose, or leaving support to state law.
Each partner must make a fair and reasonable disclosure of their assets, debts, and income before signing. Hiding assets is the fastest way to make a prenup unenforceable in Nebraska. OurPrenup builds sworn financial disclosure schedules for both partners into every agreement.
Nebraska has no fixed statutory deadline, but signing well before the wedding matters: agreements signed days before a wedding are the easiest to attack as pressured. Most attorneys recommend having the agreement finished at least 30 days before the wedding.
