Sec 25-316. Irretrievable breakdown; finding

A. If both of the parties by petition or otherwise state under oath or affirmation that the marriage is irretrievably broken or if one of the parties so states and the other does not deny it, the court shall make a finding as to whether or not the marriage is irretrievably broken.

1. Make a finding as to whether or not the marriage is irretrievably broken.

2. Continue the matter for further hearing, not more than sixty days later. At the request of either party or on its own motion, the court may order a conciliation conference. At the next hearing the court shall make a finding as to whether or not the marriage is irretrievably broken.

C. A finding that the marriage is irretrievably broken is a determination that there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation.
