Bennett v. Bennett — Railroad Settlement Partly Nonmarital but Commingled; Tax Debt Incurred During Marriage Is Marital Despite Postseparation Filing

The Nebraska Court of Appeals affirmed as modified a Lincoln County divorce decree, finding that a Union Pacific Railroad personal injury settlement was partly nonmarital (pain and suffering component) but that the nonmarital portion was commingled and untraceable through multiple joint accounts. The court also reversed the district court’s classification of a $6,250 tax debt as nonmarital, holding that income tax incurred during the marriage is marital debt regardless of postseparation filing status.
