§43-121.
When a divorce is granted, the wife shall be restored to her maiden or
former name if she so desires. The court shall enter its decree
confirming in each spouse the property owned by him or her before
marriage and the undisposed-of property acquired after marriage by him
or her in his or her own right. Either spouse may be allowed such
alimony out of real and personal property of the other as the court
shall think reasonable, having due regard to the value of such
property at the time of the divorce. Alimony may be allowed from real
or personal property, or both, or in the form of money judgment,
payable either in gross or in installments, as the court may deem just
and equitable. As to such property, whether real or personal, which
has been acquired by the parties jointly during their marriage,
whether the title thereto be in either or both of said parties, the
court shall, subject to a valid antenuptial contract in writing, make
such division between the parties as may appear just and reasonable,
by a division of the property in kind, or by setting the same apart to
one of the parties, and requiring the other thereof to be paid such
sum as may be just and proper to effect a fair and just division
thereof. The court may set apart a portion of the separate estate of a
spouse to the other spouse for the support of the children of the
marriage where custody resides with that spouse.
