Understanding The Basics Of Divorce In Iowa
Iowa is a no-fault divorce state, meaning you do not need to prove wrongdoing, such as adultery, to obtain a divorce. Instead, the court, under Iowa Code Section 598.17, only requires you to prove that the marriage has suffered an irretrievable breakdown. Additionally, the law requires you to have lived in Iowa for at least one year to file for a divorce.
Since every divorce is unique, our attorneys listen to your needs and guide you to pursue practical solutions.
Understanding Contested Versus Uncontested Divorce
At Klinger, Robinson & Ford, LLP, we will protect your interests whether in an uncontested (when you both agree on all major issues) or contested divorce (when you disagree about one or more important issues).
