As a member of a leading family law firm in Nebraska, John Ballew was invited to contribute to the Nebraska State Bar Association (NSBA) 2019 Family Law Practice Manual. This manual includes material covering a wide range of family law topics, and includes analysis from some of the very best family law attorneys in the state. Mr. Ballew was a co-author with former AAML president John S. Slowiaczek on the section entitled “Divorce and Separation Tax Issues.” This topic is critically important to family law practitioners in light of the TCJA 2017 which included numerous changes to tax laws that impact clients in family law matters.
