Anthony J. Montegut v. Tamara T. Bosby-Montegut

Omaha, Nebraska family law lawyers represented the parties in a divorce case.





Anthony and Tamara were married in May 2010. Around that time, Tamara left her job as an attorney in New York and moved to Omaha, Nebraska, to be with Anthony, because he had two children from a prior marriage who also resided in Omaha. Anthony testified that the mother of his children "unexpectedly" left the state around 5 months after Tamara arrived in Omaha, leaving him with sole physical custody of the two children. Consequently, the parties agreed that Tamara would "stay home and help the kids to adjust for one year" in lieu of seeking full-time employment.



Thereafter, the parties desired a child of their own and thus agreed that Tamara would continue to stay home beyond 1 year. The parties' only child was born in 2013. Tamara did not seek full-time employment until 2018, when she obtained a position as an attorney at the Douglas County public defender's office, making $70,500 per year. Anthony was at all times employed as a physician, practicing emergency and family medicine. At the time of trial, Anthony was employed as the medical director at "Douglas County Corrections," making $320,000 per year.



In April 2019, Anthony filed a complaint for dissolution of marriage. In May 2019, Tamara filed an answer and counterclaim seeking dissolution of the marriage. The central dispute on appeal revolves around the classification and division [31 Neb.App. 110] of certain assets accumulated by the parties both prior to and during the marriage.

Modified and affirmed.
