Deciding to get divorced is only the first of many important decisions you will need to make. It is important you choose a divorce attorney who will help you understand the potential impact of your decisions. Divorce isn't always straightforward, but with help from a lawyer who is well-versed in the law, you can eliminate some challenges and reduce your stress.
In child custody cases, whether born of a divorce, a paternity or a modification case, a judge will decide which of the parents will have the children when and how often, with whom those children will primarily reside, and which of the two parents will have the final say as to their schooling, health care and religious upbringing.
Family law is the general term used to describe legal actions that pertain to the family: divorce, child support, child custody, visitation, division of assets and all other matters pertinent to family law. At Higgins Law, we focus our practice on helping clients resolve all types of family law issues.

I paid Matt Higgins $60k for worst case scenario as the final result in my case. He’s a snake oil salesman. He’s great at making you think he believes in your case and cares about you, whilst dragging it out as long as possible and draining you of every dime he can. He gives immoral and harmful advice and once you finally figured him out and fire him, he’ll try to sue you as well. Ask any attorney around about him. They’ll tell you the same thing. Don’t get duped by his charm!

Don't mess around with the rest, just hire the best. In my opinion Matt Higgins is the best. Matt is a true professional and fully competent in all child custody situations. He is expensive, but he earns every bit of his fee. He and his team are willing and able to get results in even the most difficult cases.

Matt was my attorney in a very long drawn out custody battle, that occurred over years. To the best of my recollection this involved somewhere around 14 court appearances,
Words cannot describe the gratitude that I have for Matt. He was always prepared, always had an answer. Respectful of the Judges and opposing counsel.
Let me tell you about what happened one such court appearance. Let's be honest during a divorce you will often find yourself in court for something that would normally be trivial event. On one such occasion, my absent mindedness resulted in me failing to appear, I think all of

To say that Matt is the epitome of a professional attorney would be an understatement. This man has demonstrated his knowledge, empathy, and passion as an attorney for me on a few different occasions when I've required his services, over the past 10 years. Each time I've called on him, he has remembered details of my case that even I had forgotten, and has done such an amazing job of counseling me, on several occasions, to achieve the end goal of our case. The fact that we won every time I've used Matt just goes to show the end results are worth the price you pay. I will be forever grateful for

I hired Matt for my daughter who was experiencing traumatic issues with her ex. Matt's expertise, professionalism, and court skills enabled us to win twice in court! Matt is the most honest, sincere and caring attorney we have met! I highly recommend him and his great office staff! In fact we have remained friends with him! He is the best Omaha has to offer!
