Divorce - Dissolution of Marriage - Property Division - Alimony
Divorce is one of the most stressful and personally difficult legal issues. Dealing with a divorce on your own can be overwhelming and complicated. Having a knowledgeable legal advocate on your side can help you make informed decisions and ensure that your rights are protected throughout the process.
At the Taylor Law Offices, we are committed to standing up for our clients' rights at every stage of the divorce process. Led by experienced lawyer Karen Taylor, our firm takes the time to get to know clients and explain to them, in plain English, all of their options for reaching a resolution to the divorce and issues that stem from the divorce.
Though we are skilled in court, we realize that litigation is not right for every case. It is for this reason that we utilize methods of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), such as mediation, to resolve a wide range of divorce issues, such as those listed below.
Property Division
Since Iowa is an equitable distribution state, property and assets are divided equally and fairly, but not necessarily 50-50. A lawyer at our firm can assist clients on either side of the divorce in fighting for the property and assets that they deserve in the course of the split. Some of the types of property that are open for division include homes, cars, real estate, retirement benefits (401(k)s and pensions.
Spousal Support (Alimony)
Not every situation calls for the awarding of spousal support (alimony) payments. The courts may consider a wide range of factors when determining if spousal support is warranted, including age of the parties, length of the marriage, health of the parties and income earning potential of the parties.
Child Support and Child Custody
Children's issues often accompany a divorce. We strive to help parents keep the best interests of their children in mind while seeking a custody or support arrangement.
