Division of Marital Assets

“Will my spouse get 50% of all of the assets?”

Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota are “equitable distribution” jurisdictions. This means the marital property will be divided fairly between both parties. What does this really mean? It depends. In practice, it isn’t uncommon to see a distribution of marital assets and debts that is roughly equal (i.e. 50/50). However, the facts and circumstances of each case are unique, and in your situation a 50/50 split of assets may not be equitable. The divorce attorneys at Goosmann Law Firm will help you evaluate and assess the facts surrounding your particular situation, and will work with you to develop the appropriate plan to help protect your interests when it comes time to distribute the parties’ property.

Alimony / Spousal Support

“How can I end alimony?”

Spousal support, commonly called “alimony” is a stipend paid to a spouse in lieu of the other spouse’s legal obligation to provide support. Each state is different, but in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota there is no specific formula to calculate the amount of spousal support appropriate in a particular case. The court will look at several factors to determine whether spousal support is appropriate, and if so, how much and for what duration. If you have questions about alimony or are looking to reevaluate your alimony ruling, contact our Sioux City divorce lawyer, Omaha divorce attorney, or Sioux Falls divorce lawyer today.

Assisted Reproductive Technologies – Surrogacy Laws

“My husband and I are experiencing infertility and looking into having a Gestational Carrier. What legal documents are needed for the gestational surrogacy process?”

At Goosmann Law we are lawyers but are also parents ourselves, and we’ve also experienced the gestational surrogacy process from our own first-hand experience. Paralegal Monica Colella was a gestational carrier and shares her personal story that changed her life as well as the family she helped by giving them one of the most wonderful gifts. Read her story here.

Goosmann Law Firm is excited to be practicing in this innovative area of law, assisted reproductive technology or gestational surrogacy law. Families who experience infertility often go through a roller-coaster ride of emotions, doctor visits, and medications. There are many couples who have trouble conceiving a pregnancy or are able to conceive, but experience fertility problems that prevent them from carrying a child of their own. In such cases, you may choose to use the services of a Gestational Carrier. A Gestational Carrier is a woman who becomes pregnant with the embryos of someone else and has no genetic link to the child she is carrying.

Our team of family law attorneys advises clients in this cutting-edge area of family law. We understand the ever-changing reproductive practices including those of gestational carriers. We advise on changing family needs and help navigate the laws and risks.

Omaha Collaborative Divorce

Collaborative divorce is a process in which couples who are seeking to end their marriage work together with a team of professionals to reach a settlement without going to court. This approach aims to minimize conflict and promote cooperation and communication between the parties involved. The team typically includes attorneys, financial experts, and mental health professionals who are trained in collaborative law. They work together to address the various issues involved in the divorce, such as property division, child custody, and spousal support, in a respectful and constructive manner. Collaborative divorce can be a good option for couples who are willing to work together to find a solution that meets the needs and interests of both parties, and who want to avoid the emotional and financial costs of a court battle.

Divorce Mediation in Omaha

Divorce mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution that can help couples reach a settlement in a divorce without going to court. At Goosmann Law Firm, our experienced mediators help clients navigate the mediation process with the goal of reaching a mutually acceptable agreement. During mediation, the parties meet with a neutral mediator who facilitates discussions and helps identify areas of agreement and disagreement. The mediator does not make decisions for the parties but rather helps them find common ground and reach a settlement that works for both parties. Mediation can be less expensive and less time-consuming than going to court, and it can also be less emotionally taxing for the parties involved. Our team of experienced divorce attorneys can help clients understand their legal rights and obligations during the mediation process and provide guidance and support throughout the process.
