  • How is child custody decided in Nebraska?

    Nebraska courts decide custody based on the best interests of the child, weighing factors like each parent's relationship with the child, stability of the home environment, and willingness to support the child's relationship with the other parent. Judges can award joint legal custody, sole custody, or a combination depending on the specific circumstances of your case.

  • How does a guardian ad litem affect my child custody case in Nebraska?

    A guardian ad litem is an attorney appointed by the court to represent your child's best interests — not either parent's. They investigate the family situation, interview both parents and the child, and submit a recommendation to the judge that can carry significant weight in shaping the final custody order.

  • Can I move out of Nebraska with my child while a custody case is still pending?

    No — relocating with your child while a custody case is active typically requires either written agreement from the other parent or advance court approval. Moving without permission can be treated as interference with custody and may seriously damage your position in the ongoing case.

  • What happens to the family home and retirement accounts in a Nebraska divorce?

    Nebraska is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property — including the home and retirement accounts accumulated during the marriage — is divided fairly, though not always 50/50. The court considers factors like each spouse's financial situation, contributions to the marriage, and the length of the marriage when determining a fair split.
