Q. Rights to $100,000 pre-marital equity in new house division?

February 17, 2025

A: The burden to prove a pre-marital asset or pre-marital equity is on the spouse claiming the pre-marital equity. The more you can show that that the asset/equity has been kept separate and is traceable to the pre-marital asset/equity, the easier it is to convince the judge to award you the pre-marital equity. The reality is that how hard or how easy it is going to be convince the Judge to award the pre-marital equity often also depends on other factors involved in the case. For example, If the marriage has been a relatively short marriage, such as 5 years or less, the Court is generally much more willing to award pre-marital equity. On the other hand, if you've been married 30 years, have raised your children together, have upgraded to multiple homes over the years, it might be far less likely that the judge will still separate out that pre-marital equity at this time. This is just one example of how your overall situation affects your odds. What you and your spouse have said and done in the meantime also matters. You should speak with a family law attorney to discuss your best strategy. ... Read More

Q. My kids are 37 and 31 yrs old. My question is, is it at all possible to have my child support terminated?

January 27, 2025

A: Child support generally terminates when a child reaches the age of majority. In Nebraska, the child support ends when a child turns 19 years old. If you did not make the child support payments timely when the children were minors, you will still owe the back child support, including the court-ordered interest. The back child support is still due and owing even once the children are adults.
