Emancipation Forms & Instructions
These instructions and forms are a product of the Nebraska Supreme Court's Implementation Committee on Self Represented Litigation and are provided as a public service to people who want to file for emancipation on their own.
The Supreme Court does not represent that these instructions and forms will be appropriate in your case. Any questions you may have regarding the use of the instructions and forms should be directed to a lawyer.
Although these instructions and forms were developed to assist people who want to do their own cases, the Supreme Court’s Implementation Committee on Self Represented Litigation urges everyone thinking of doing their own case to consider getting a lawyer to help.
