Family Law

Family law cases involve some of the most complicated issues you may face in your life. From divorce to protection orders, these cases often come with emotional turmoil and high levels of stress. At the Law Offices of Nicholas E. Wurth, we have experience with all types of family law cases. We care about your future, and we are here to help you ensure that your case is resolved in the best way possible. 

Our Family Law Services

Our team offers representation to clients dealing with the following family law issues:

Divorce

Divorce is one of the most difficult transitions you can face in life. As you move through the process of permanently separating from your spouse, you will need to divide your property and any debts. You may also need to deal with the issues of child custody, visitation, child support, and spousal support. 

Our firm can help you pursue an appropriate resolution in all of these areas, whether or not you are able to reach an agreement outside of court. If litigation is required, we will fight tirelessly on your behalf. We are not afraid of a court battle and will never encourage you to accept a settlement that isn’t appropriate or fair. 

Custody

If you share a child with another person who isn’t your spouse or partner, a formal child custody agreement is highly recommended. Two types of custody exist: legal and physical. While legal custody determines who can make important decisions for the child, physical custody determines the child’s residence. 

Our firm can help you pursue a fair custody agreement that protects your child’s welfare, as well as the parent-child relationship. We assist with new child custody orders, as well as petitions for modifications to existing orders. Our firm can represent you whether you are the custodial or non-custodial parent. 

Child Support 

Nebraska state law requires both of a child’s parents to provide adequate financial support as the child grows. In cases where the child’s parents aren’t partners, it is often easier to pursue a formal child support order. Under this order, the non-custodial parent will pay a specific amount of support to the custodial parent on a regular basis. 

We believe that child support orders should be fair to both parents. If you are a custodial parent seeking a new support order, or if you are a non-custodial parent negotiating support, we can help. We also assist parents in petitioning the court for changes to child support orders when circumstances change. For example, if either of the parents experiences a significant change in income, a petition for child support modification may be warranted. 



Adoptions and Guardianships

Both adoption and guardianship cases can be complicated arrangements requiring careful planning and execution. In order to protect all parties involved and ensure a smooth transition, it is important to work with an experienced attorney throughout the process. Our firm understands the ins and outs of both adoption and guardianship, and we are here to help you achieve your goals. 

The Law Offices of Nicholas E. Wurth handles both domestic and international adoptions, as well as all types of guardianship throughout the state of Nebraska. We will guide you through every step of the process with the highest degree of care and compassion. 

Protection Orders 

Protection orders are designed to prevent harm and provide peace of mind when you have been threatened. Several different types of protection orders exist in the state of Nebraska, including domestic abuse protection orders, harassment protection orders, and sexual assault protection orders. 

If you feel like your safety is being threatened, we want to help you protect yourself. We will review the situation, explain your options with regard to protection orders, and help you decide on the best course of action. If you decide to pursue a protection order, we will assist you every step of the way.
