    Lincoln Divorce:
    Answers to Your Key Questions

    Company logo

    How are agricultural assets divided in a Lincoln divorce?

    Dividing agricultural assets in a Lincoln divorce requires specialized experience due to the unique nature of these holdings. Simple formulas don't always apply. Factors we consider include:

    • Valuation: We utilize experienced agricultural appraisers to determine fair market value, considering factors like soil quality, crop yields, water rights, and recent sales of comparable properties. This process goes beyond standard real estate appraisal, taking into account the complexities of agricultural operations.
    • Seasonal income: We carefully analyze income streams, considering seasonal variations and long-term projections for profitability. This ensures a fair division based on the actual economic value of the asset.
    • Land use restrictions: We assess any zoning regulations, conservation easements, or other restrictions that may affect the property's value and potential future use.
    • Tax implications: We collaborate with tax professionals to minimize tax liabilities related to the asset division. Understanding the tax implications is crucial for achieving the most beneficial outcome for you.
    • Operational assets: We account for all operational assets, including equipment, livestock, and other resources essential to running the agricultural business.

    We work closely with agricultural experts and tax specialists to ensure a fair and equitable division of agricultural assets that protects your interests.

    How does Lincoln's school district factor into custody decisions?

    Lincoln Unified School District's highly-rated schools are a key consideration in custody arrangements. Our attorneys understand this and will advocate for schedules that:

    • Prioritize educational stability: We strive to create parenting plans that minimize disruption to your children's education, maintain consistent school attendance, and minimize transitions.
    • Protect parental rights: We work to ensure that both parents have meaningful opportunities to participate in their children's lives, balancing their rights with the best interests of the child.
    • Consider extracurricular activities: We acknowledge the importance of extracurricular activities in your children's lives and incorporate them into custody schedules to ensure continued involvement.
    • Address future schooling: In some situations, we may help plan for future schooling choices, such as selecting a school for higher education.
    • Account for distance: If a relocation or change in living arrangements is anticipated, we account for the distance between homes and how it will impact school commutes and extracurricular activities.

    Our approach guarantees that custody decisions reflect the unique considerations of Lincoln's educational system while advocating for your best interests.

    Can I keep my Lincoln home in the divorce?

    Whether you can retain your Lincoln home in the divorce depends on several factors, including:

    • Equity: The amount of equity you have in the home.
    • Income: Your ability to make mortgage payments independently.
    • Other assets: The overall value of the marital assets.
    • Spousal support: The possibility of receiving spousal support to assist with housing costs.

    We analyze your circumstances to determine the most effective strategies for retaining your home, including negotiation, mediation, or even litigation, if necessary. We explore all viable options to maximize your chances of staying in your home.

    What if my spouse tries to hide assets during our Lincoln divorce?

    Concealing assets during a divorce is illegal. We employ proven techniques to uncover hidden assets:

    • Forensic accounting: We work with forensic accountants to thoroughly examine financial records, identifying discrepancies and uncovering hidden accounts, transactions, or assets.
    • Discovery: We utilize the legal discovery process to compel your spouse to provide financial information and documentation. This includes subpoenas, interrogatories, and requests for production of documents.
    • Asset tracing: We employ specialized investigative techniques to track down hidden assets, including offshore accounts, shell corporations, and other complex financial structures.
    • Expert testimony: We utilize expert witnesses to provide credible testimony and evidence to support claims of hidden assets.

    Our Board-Certified expert attorneys have decades of experience and skill in uncovering hidden assets and pursuing their recovery to ensure a just and equitable division of marital property. We are committed to protecting your financial interests.
