Plain-English Summary
Section 25-2179 marks the turning point in a partition case, the moment dispute gives way to division. Once the shares and interests of all the parties have been settled, whether by admission under section 25-2178 or by trial of contested issues under section 25-2176, the case moves to judgment.
That judgment does two things at once: it confirms the shares and interests as settled, giving every party a definite, court-recognized stake in the property, and it directs that partition be made according to those confirmed shares. The judgment is the bridge between resolving who owns what and carrying out the division that follows.
