Jacob D. Schroeder and Elizabeth M. Schroeder were married in 2011 and have three children, Callie, born in 2007, Torie, born in 2013, and Caden, born in 2016. In July 2022, Elizabeth filed a complaint for dissolution of marriage in the district court for Seward County.



In September 2022, the court entered temporary orders which included findings that Jacob was facing a felony charge arising out of an incident in July in which he physically assaulted Elizabeth while Callie was present in the home, and as a result, a domestic abuse protection order had been issued against Jacob. The court awarded Elizabeth temporary physical and legal custody of the children subject to Jacob's supervised parenting time. Jacob was also ordered to pay child support, and the parties were ordered to participate in mediation.
