Frequently Asked Questions
What are the residency requirements for divorce in Iowa?
You or your spouse must live in Iowa for at least one year before filing for divorce. If you both live in Iowa, the case is filed in the county where one of you resides.
How long does a divorce take in Des Moines?
Iowa law requires a 90-day waiting period from the date the petition is served before the divorce can be finalized. Uncontested cases may be resolved in a few months, while contested cases can take longer.
How is property divided in an Iowa divorce?
Iowa uses equitable distribution, meaning the court divides marital property fairly but not necessarily equally. The court considers factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse's income, and contributions to the marriage.
