If you and your spouse have diverse assets, own a business, or have accumulated substantial wealth during your marriage, a divorce is more complicated. It is important to know that in Nebraska, it does not matter whether a spouse’s name is on assets or obligations – how finances are held is only one factor in whether a particular item is marital or separate.  At GordenLaw, LLC, we have over 20 years of experience handling family law matters in Nebraska. Our high net worth divorce team serving Ashland, NE can help protect your interests through every stage of the legal dissolution of your marriage. To learn what your options are and which of our service packages best suits your needs, schedule a strategy call with our divorce attorneys today.

We are Upfront About Location & Costs

High Net Worth Divorce Lawyers Serving Ashland, NE

Nebraska is a no-fault divorce state. Couples can file for divorce whether or not there is proof of wrongdoing. At least one spouse must allege that the marriage is irretrievably broken.  However, one spouse must have lived in Nebraska for at least 12 months to be eligible to file. A divorce decree outlines the terms both spouses agree to, including:

  • The division of property, finances, and assets
  • The division of debt
  • Child custody and child support
  • Spousal maintenance
  • The division of retirement accounts (if applicable)

High net worth divorces involve complex financial situations, requiring third-party experts to reach an equitable resolution. For example, a forensic accountant may be necessary to identify all accounts and assets. In some situations, a spouse may be hiding funds or be unaware of investments. By conducting a financial investigation, our high net worth divorce lawyers bring transparency and clarity to settlement negotiations.​

If you and your spouse own a business, it is essential to work with our experienced firm to explore options that minimally impact operations while providing a fair division of control. Depending on when and how the business was formed, it may be considered marital property. Whether your goal is to buy out your spouse, sell the company, or move forward as co-owners, we will partner with you to achieve that goal.​

Spousal maintenance is another key factor in high-net-worth divorce cases. We assess your and your partner’s contributions to the marriage, including income, child-rearing, and managing the home. If there is a significant disparity in earnings or earning potential, spousal maintenance may be awarded so that both parties can maintain a similar standard of living enjoyed during the marriage.

We understand that the outcome of a high-net-worth divorce impacts the most important relationships in your life and your future. Our attorneys explain the process and expected outcomes thoroughly, leveraging personalized strategies to reach a successful resolution. We are committed to instilling confidence in a path forward, empowering you to make informed decisions.
