Divorce, Legal Separation and Annulment in Nebraska

Ending or changing a marriage involves important legal, financial and family considerations. For this reason, we help clients understand their options and address the issues involved in divorce, legal separation and annulment, including:

• Division of property and debts: Identifying, valuing and equitably dividing marital assets and liabilities, including real estate, retirement accounts, vehicles, business interests and debts.
• Alimony: Pursuing or responding to requests for spousal support based on the circumstances of the marriage and applicable law.
• Temporary orders: Seeking orders addressing custody, support, use of the marital home and payment of expenses while a case is pending.
• Legal separation: Helping clients address property, support and parenting matters while remaining legally married.
• Annulment: Advising clients on whether an annulment may be available under Nebraska law and representing them in related proceedings.

Complex and High-Asset Divorce

Business owners, professionals, senior executives and individuals with significant assets often face divorces that involve intricate financial arrangements, closely held businesses and substantial property holdings. Moreover, these cases frequently involve competing interests that require careful analysis. For this reason, our attorneys address issues such as:

• Valuation of closely held and family businesses, shared businesses and partnerships
• Marital versus non-marital assets, including premarital property and inheritances
• Retirement accounts, deferred compensation and the court orders needed to divide retirement plans
• Investments, real estate and other substantial property holdings
• Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements

Child Custody, Parenting Time and Child Support

Parenting arrangements should serve children’s best interests. Therefore, our attorneys help clients develop parenting plans that address legal and physical custody, parenting schedules, holidays and decision-making. When those issues are contested, we also represent clients in court. In addition, we address child support obligations under the Nebraska Child Support Guidelines, including healthcare, childcare and other expenses.

Modifying or Enforcing a Divorce Decree

Changes in employment, income, living arrangements or family circumstances may affect the terms of an existing divorce decree. Fraser Stryker represents clients seeking modifications and clients responding to modification requests, helping them understand their options and the legal requirements for changing existing orders. Our services include:

• Modifications to child support and alimony
• Changes to custody arrangements and parenting plans
• Requests to relocate with a child
• Enforcement of existing decrees and court orders, including proceedings involving unpaid support or violations of parenting-time orders

Paternity

Establishing paternity can affect parental rights, custody, parenting time and child support obligations. Our family law attorneys assist clients with paternity proceedings and related legal matters, helping parents understand their rights and responsibilities under Nebraska law.

Adoption

Adoption creates important legal relationships and lasting family connections. Fraser Stryker assists clients with adoption matters, guiding them through applicable legal requirements, court procedures and documentation.
