This blog walks through six practical ways Nebraska co-parents can reduce stress, stay flexible, and keep their child’s wellbeing front and center—all without needing a courtroom to make it work.

Thinking about a prenup in Nebraska? You’re not alone—and it’s not just for the rich or famous.

The earlier you plan, the more options you have. From legal documents to care teams and everything in between, this post breaks down how to take action now so you’re not scrambling later.

Marriage doesn’t automatically give you the legal authority to act on your spouse’s behalf. If your partner becomes incapacitated and you don’t have a power of attorney in place, you may be blocked from accessing accounts, managing bills, or even talking to their insurance provider. Love and commitment matter—but in the eyes of the law, it’s all about agency. And that has to be granted, not assumed.

Cremation might seem like the simpler choice—but there’s still a lot to consider. From legal consent to family dynamics to what actually happens after the ashes are returned, this isn’t something you want to leave to chance. If you want your wishes honored (and to avoid a family feud in a funeral home parking lot), it starts with clear planning, real conversations, and putting it all in writing.

Being named an executor sounds honorable—until you’re staring down a stack of paperwork, unsure where to even start. Most people don’t realize that settling an estate isn’t just about handing out belongings. It’s about navigating probate court, managing finances, tracking down assets, paying off debts in the right legal order, and keeping everything meticulously documented. It’s a lot. But it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. In this post, I break down what being an executor really means, what to do first, and how to move through the process without losing your mind—or your weekend.

End-of-life planning isn’t fun, flashy, or something most of us want to think about—but it’s one of the most loving and responsible things you can do. This post breaks down what matters (and what doesn’t), how to make decisions that reflect your values, and why leaving your loved ones with clarity is the ultimate act of care.

When the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to reinstate its ban on transgender military service, it didn’t just impact policy—it sent a message. A message that some Americans are still being told they don’t belong, even when they’re willing to serve. This post unpacks the ruling, what it means, and why we can’t let doubt—or discrimination—become the loudest voice in the room.

Guardianship in Nebraska means taking legal responsibility for another person’s wellbeing when they can’t make decisions for themselves.
