Pretrial Motion Victory

Sarpy County NE Seal

Tom Horgan, Horgan Law Firm, obtained a pre-hearing dismissal in Sarpy County District Court on a school-choice dispute between two parents. The parties were divorced in 2013 with a parenting plan outlined the parties’ rights. The Parenting Plan contained a clause that stated the mother’s residence will serve as the primary residence for the child’s education. Opposing counsel filed a motion requesting the Court hear the dispute and to decide where the child will attend school. Tom was able to obtain a pre-hearing dismissal for lack of jurisdiction on the basis that the motion was improper.

This serves as an important reminder to think about future issues with your children when formulating a Parenting Plan. It also serves as a reminder to retain the best possible attorney who will fight for you no matter the cause. Please contact Tom for any of your civil litigation needs!
