GEO Divorce & Family Law Attorney

Finding experienced family law attorneys in Central Nebraska can be tough — especially when you need clear answers, fair fees, and a team that truly cares and has the time to devote to your matter. At GordenLaw, LLC, we are expanding our services to Grand Island, Kearney, Hastings, and surrounding Central Nebraska communities from our main office in Lincoln.

We are Upfront About Location & Costs

We like to be straightforward with you. Because we’re coming from Lincoln, there will be some additional costs for travel when handling your case in Grand Island. That said, our flat-fee pricing still tends to be more predictable and budget-friendly than the hourly billing most firms use.

Divorce Lawyers Serving Burr Oak, NE

To file for divorce in Nebraska, at least one spouse must have lived in the state for 12 months. Nebraska is a no-fault divorce state. You do not need to prove wrongdoing, like abuse or adultery, to legally dissolve your marriage.​

A divorce decree may address issues such as:

  • Finance, property, and asset division
  • Child custody and parenting time
  • Child support
  • Spousal support(alimony)

It is important to understand that division is equitable, not equal. The goal is to give both spouses stability as they move forward in the next chapter of life. Income, earning potential, and the lifestyle enjoyed during the marriage are all considered when establishing a fair divorce agreement.​ The specific awards are based upon the facts and history and circumstances in each case.

Our divorce firm offers flat-fee pricing packages and multiple service tiers to resolve your case effectively and efficiently. We understand that legal fees are an investment. Our firm aligns our services with what your case demands, so that you know what your divorce will cost, what to expect during the process, and the projected outcomes.​

Parties who are able to reach agreements on their assets, debts, and children may qualify for our Silver, limited scope assistance in preparing the required legal documents and having them approved by the Court. More complex issues or disagreements may require more assistance with applying the law to their specific facts and handling disputes at both temporary and final phases of litigation.

Why Experience Matters in Divorce Cases

It is important to have good legal representation because some decisions are final and cannot be modified in the future. Other agreements or court orders may be more open to modification provided a substantial change in circumstances occurs. Family law cases impact the most important relationships in your life. You want a legal team that acknowledges the seriousness of these situations, protecting your rights and best interests. The legal system can be complicated and confusing. Our attorneys explain things in plain terms and educate you at every step, so you can feel confident and in control of your case.​
