Senior Family Law Litigation Paralegal - Project Based
Senior Family Law Litigation Paralegal - Confidential Nebraska Family Law Matter, Private Client
Private individual seeking experienced, project-based litigation support in a complex Nebraska divorce and contested custody matter. This is a confidential, remote assignment rather than a permanent law-firm position.
Position Description:
Seeking a highly experienced family-law litigation paralegal, former paralegal, or senior litigation assistant for paid, project-based support in a complex, high-conflict divorce and contested custody case pending in Lincoln County, Nebraska.
The case involves extensive electronic evidence, deposition testimony, protection-order proceedings, related criminal matters, financial disputes, discovery, recordings, text messages, emails, court records, and medical-professional employment and licensing issues.
Primary responsibilities may include:
• Organizing and consistently naming a substantial electronic evidence collection
• Creating and maintaining a fact-supported master chronology
• Reviewing complete text-message and email records for relevant evidence and context
• Summarizing recordings, transcripts, depositions, and court records
• Cross-referencing sworn testimony with corroborating or contradictory evidence
• Creating exhibit indexes, source logs, issue-specific notebooks, and hearing binders
• Identifying missing records, incomplete conversations, duplicates, evidentiary weaknesses, and potential opposing-counsel risks
• Bates-labeling and preparing attorney-ready evidence packets
• Assisting with discovery organization, deadline tracking, and trial preparation
• Coordinating with a Nebraska-licensed attorney when attorney supervision or legal review is required
Required qualifications:
• At least five years of family-law or contested civil-litigation experience
• Meaningful experience with contested custody, high-conflict divorce, protection orders, discovery, depositions, or evidentiary hearings
• Strong trial-preparation, document-review, and evidence-organization skills
• Experience handling electronic communications, recordings, and large document collections
• Excellent written English and close attention to dates, sources, completeness, and context
• Willingness to complete a conflict check and sign a confidentiality agreement
• Clear understanding that this assignment does not authorize independent legal representation or legal advice
Nebraska family-law experience is strongly preferred. Experience with parallel family and criminal proceedings, healthcare professionals, professional-licensing matters, or complex impeachment evidence is especially helpful.
The engagement will begin with a small paid test project. Continued work may be available if the initial work demonstrates accuracy, neutrality, sound judgment, and excellent organization. Remote candidates may apply, but Nebraska experience is preferred.
How to Apply:
Please email a résumé and brief introduction describing your family-law litigation experience, including contested custody, protection orders, discovery, depositions, electronic evidence, and hearing or trial preparation.
Please also state:
1. Your years of relevant experience
2. Whether you have worked on Nebraska cases
3. Your experience creating chronologies, exhibit indexes, deposition summaries, and hearing notebooks
4. Whether you work directly with self-represented parties
5. Your hourly rate and current availability
6. Whether you can provide a redacted work-product sample
The engagement will begin with a small paid test assignment. Applicants must complete a conflict check and sign a confidentiality agreement before receiving identifying case information or evidence.
