Divorce is never easy—especially when children are caught in the middle. In Nebraska, custody decisions hinge on the “best interests of the child,” but what does that really mean for parents? This post explores how to shift from reactive parenting to intentional parenting, how to support your child’s emotions without “fixing” them, and how Nebraska courts evaluate custody and parenting plans under § 42-364. If you’re facing divorce, learn how to protect your kids’ well-being while also strengthening your custody case.

When clients ask, “What are my chances in court?” the honest answer is that no Nebraska lawyer can give you a percentage. Every case is unique, shaped by judges, facts, and strategy. Instead of false certainty, what I provide is a clear assessment of your case, insight from experience, and a strategy designed around your goals. Preparation—not prediction—is what gives you the strongest position in family law, probate, or civil disputes.

Many people stay in marriages because they feel they’ve invested too much time, money, or effort to leave. This is known as the “sunken cost fallacy,” and in Nebraska family law it often keeps people trapped in unhealthy relationships. This blog explains how Nebraska’s no-fault divorce laws, equitable division of the marital estate, child custody standards, and alimony rules apply when you’re considering separation. If you feel stuck, understanding your legal rights can help you make decisions based on your future—not just your past.

Think you need an “aggressive” divorce attorney in Nebraska? Think again. In this post, we break down why aggression in court often backfires—and what you really need is someone who’s strategic, principled, and focused on protecting your future, not just picking fights.
