If you want to discuss your family law issues with our experienced Dallas County family lawyers, contact us today.
Here at Iowa Defenders, PLLC, we handle the gamut of family law issues on behalf of our clients. If you need a lawyer who can best represent you, you are in the right place. We have decades of combined legal experience representing individuals facing complex family law issues, and we are prepared to put that experience to work for you.
Our family lawyers understand the complicated emotions involved in a divorce. They will take the time to explain your rights and responsibilities under Iowa law. Our attorneys understand that every divorce is different and will tailor representation to your particular needs. For example, in some cases, the parties agree on all issues, and the divorce proceeds to an uncontested judgment. In other cases, the parties are unable to agree and, ultimately, a contested hearing or trial will occur.
In addition to these options, many clients chose to pursue a collaborative divorce. Collaborative divorce is an alternative to the traditional adversarial approach and focuses on negotiation, compromise, and a less confrontational process. No matter how your divorce proceeds, our family law attorneys are here to protect and advocate for your best interests. Our attorneys will help you understand your rights when it comes to child support, alimony, division of assets and liabilities, time-sharing with your children, and much more.
Few things are more important to parents than the well-being of their children. Unfortunately, divorce presents a host of issues when it comes to parenting, as parents typically have to split custody of their children once their divorce is final. Though custody arrangements are sometimes 50/50, this is not a given. That said, if you need an attorney who can help ensure your child’s best interests are protected, you are in the right place. A family law attorney from Iowa Defenders, PLLC is here to fight for you and the future of your family.
For many custodial parents, receiving child support plays a critical role in their ability to care for and raise their children sufficiently. If you’re seeking child support or are being asked to pay it, our legal team stands ready to effectively represent you.
At Iowa Defenders, PLLC, our attorneys are committed to ensuring that alimony arrangements are fair and equitable. We work diligently to understand the financial needs and circumstances of both parties to advocate effectively on your behalf. Whether you are seeking alimony or required to pay it, our team will guide you through the legal requirements and factors considered by Iowa courts, such as the length of the marriage, the standard of living established during the marriage, and each party’s earning capacity.
The division of marital assets and liabilities is often one of the most contentious aspects of a divorce. Our experienced attorneys at Iowa Defenders, PLLC are adept at handling complex property division cases. We strive to ensure a fair distribution of all assets, including real estate, investments, retirement accounts, and personal property. We meticulously analyze financial records, appraise assets, and identify any hidden or undervalued assets to safeguard your interests.
Divorce mediation is a valuable alternative to traditional litigation, focusing on collaboration and amicable resolution. At Iowa Defenders, PLLC, we facilitate mediation sessions that allow both parties to discuss and resolve issues such as child custody, support, and property division in a less adversarial setting. Our skilled mediators guide you through the process, helping you communicate effectively and reach mutually beneficial agreements.
The world is constantly changing. Family situations can change too. Sometimes, what a court ordered years ago does not meet today’s needs or changed circumstances. That is why timesharing, parenting plans, and child support agreements need to be modified from time to time. If you need to have a current court order modified, a family law attorney from our legal team is here to represent you.
