JAMES HOPPE
ATTORNEY AT LAW
I decided to go to law school because I have always had a strong desire to help people solve their problems. The area of family law drew my attention because I liked the idea of guiding families to healthy solutions. I first began my career as a criminal prosecutor in court and transitioned to criminal defense. I gained great experience working with cases that go to court, and I now use my litigation skills to seek reasonable solutions for my Lincoln, Nebraska, clients and their families.
Helping You Reach
“Positive” and “divorce” aren’t always used together, but that’s always been my goal.
I consider the conclusion of a divorce “positive” when a couple has reached a mature and amicable conclusion to their marriage, and all matters surrounding it, including child support, child custody, division of property, alimony, and more.

Don't Think of It as a Battle
You may want to enter your divorce proceedings with an iron fist or the idea that you must “win” at everything to reach the conclusion you want. Think of your Lincoln divorce as a collaboration to bring your marriage to an end without any blood or too many tears being shed.

Be Open & Cooperative
Both parties may have similar wants and needs, such as child custody or division of property. If you both want to keep the house, you should express why you should take possession, but you also need to give them the chance to do the same.

Put Your Child's Needs First
Child psychologist Joan Kelly’s research suggests most children adjust within two years after a divorce. Make this transition as easy as possible by keeping conflict away from them with the help of an experienced attorney and remind them that they can come to you if they’re having difficulties.
