More divorces were granted to people in their thirties than in any other decade of life, with 44.9% of Nebraska divorces in 2009 involving at least one person between 30 and 39 years of age. Almost one of every four (23.5%) Nebraska divorces in 2009 terminated marriages lasting three years or less, while almost half (48.6%) ended marriages lasting seven years or less. Just over half (51.5%) of the state's 2009 divorces involved couples with children, and of the 5,790 children affected by these divorces, nearly two-thirds (61.6%) were placed solely in custody of the wife. More than half (57.0%) of the state’s 2009 divorces involved a settlement of some type: child support was the most frequent type of settlement and was awarded in 2,436 divorces, followed by property (awarded in 1,622 divorces), medical reimbursement (awarded in 746 divorces), and alimony (awarded in 616 divorces).
