I believe that they are the same: you must reside or be stationed in the State of Nebraska for the time required for filing of a divroce action: residentcy.  And Residency is one year.  Please seek legal help here.  Military pensions are divided differently than civilian pensions and there are kids and support involved.  Thank you for your service to our country.  Good luck.
