Are You Ready For Divorce Proceedings?
If you are considering divorce, are preparing to file or need to respond because your spouse has filed against you, many important decisions lie ahead. Whether your concerns involve your children, your future financial stability, support obligations or all of these, the family law attorney you hire is critical for protecting your interests and your future.
The Iowa City divorce attorneys at our firm bring together more than 50 years of practice experience. They are versed in all aspects of Iowa family law. You can depend on receiving caring, individualized divorce counsel shaped by your specific situation and goals, beginning with a free 30-minute consultation. We will work to settle your case amicably and keep you out of court, but we also prepare thoroughly for litigation, if that becomes necessary.
Face The Future Prepared
We have handled hundreds of cases ranging from straightforward divorces where parties can agree on all issues to complex, intensely disputed ones requiring mediation or protracted courtroom litigation. Your attorney will guide you through the process, explaining likely outcomes, risks and viable options for:
- Establishing child custody and visitation/parenting time, with emphasis on protecting children’s futures and maintaining open, productive communication between parents whenever possible
- Obtaining fair and just orders for child support and alimony (spousal support), if applicable
- Negotiating or litigating to ensure equitable property division and allocation of debts
- Addressing any other complex issues unique to your case, such as allegations of domestic violence, other concerns about fitness to parent or the belief that your spouse is concealing assets
Working To Protect Your Future
Our family lawyers understand the emotional stress and financial pressure that men and women endure when facing divorce. We strive to relieve those burdens by answering vital questions upfront and targeting favorable outcomes via the most efficient and affordable means possible.
If aggressive advocacy in court is the only way to achieve your goals, however, we will provide exactly that — and we also have the procedural knowledge and skill to handle family law appeals.
