What Practice Areas Do You Handle?

Immigration Law

Through family-based and humanitarian immigration petitions, we advocate for families to stay together. We zealously fight for clients in removal proceedings with the immigration court, identifying creative solutions for each client. We are fluent in both English and Spanish and look forward to assisting you in your native language.

Family Law

We think that most family conflicts can be settled without causing a complete breakdown of interpersonal ties. While divorce ends the bonds of marriage, it does not end the bonds of family. We strive to guide clients through high-integrity court proceedings, focusing on physical, mental, emotional, and psychological health and safety throughout the process.

About Us

What Are Some Critical Aspects of an Iowa Divorce?

Going through a divorce can be difficult, no matter your circumstances. If you are experiencing an uncontested divorce, where you and your spouse agree on all key issues, you may still require a lawyer to help with petitions, serving papers, and watching out for your legal rights.

More commonly, couples experience a contested divorce, where the two cannot agree on one or more issues. In these cases, it is even more critical to have legal representation from lawyers who will safeguard your legal rights and ensure you get a fair deal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What Decisions Must Be Made During a Des Moines, Iowa Divorce?

A: One of the reasons getting divorced is so difficult is because of the many decisions that must be made between the divorcing couple. It is common for feelings of resentment and anger to occur during a divorce, resulting in an even more difficult decision-making process. With our legal team on your side, you’ll have an ally to help with such critical decisions as child custody, child support, division of property, and spousal support. We’ll watch out for your best interests and ensure your rights are protected throughout the divorce. We can also help with order enforcement or modifications as your life changes down the road.

Q: What Options Do I Have for Child Custody in Iowa?

A: In Iowa, both legal custody and physical custody of the child must be considered. Legal custody refers to necessary decision-making authority while physical custody refers to providing physically for the child. Both aspects of guardianship may be awarded jointly or to one sole parent. In most cases, judges try to keep both parents in the child’s life, as this results in better emotional health for everyone involved. However, in cases of domestic violence, abuse, or neglect, custody may be awarded to only one parent, also known as sole custody. For help retaining your parental rights in a Des Moines, Iowa divorce, call our legal team today.

Q: How Is Child Support Determined in Des Moines, Iowa?

Iowa law provides specific ways of determining child support during a divorce. Since child support is critical for the well-being of the children, this procedure is not negotiated between the parents but is awarded by a judge according to state rules. For example, the process involves adding both parents’ incomes and dividing the amount proportionally according to how much each person earns. That proportion then becomes the amount that each parent must dedicate to raising the child, including medical expenses, childcare, education, and so on.

Q: Why Do I Need a Lawyer During My Des Moines Divorce?

A: When you are divorcing your spouse in Des Moines, there is too much at risk to go it alone or hire an inexperienced lawyer. You need legal assistance to achieve a fair ruling that gives you the best chance at a positive future. With the many decisions that must be made, it is crucial that you have someone who understands the law protecting your rights. Your lawyer can help by offering advice based on your unique circumstances, minimizing the length and expense of your divorce, helping with mediation, and providing evidence that builds a strong case in your favor. Call our law firm immediately to get the legal counsel and representation you need in your Iowa divorce.

Q: How Does Mediation Work During a Divorce?

A: In some divorce cases, a judge will require mediation so the couple has a chance to reach certain decisions on their own. We recommend mediation for many couples because it can often reduce anger and grudges that so often plague couples for years following their divorce. Finding solutions through mediation can also mean you have more control over your future, rather than leaving everything up to a judge. During mediation, you’ll meet with your spouse or with their representative to negotiate parenting plans, asset division, and more. Mediation can save time and money, but it isn’t for everyone. Contact our legal team to learn more about your options and see if you should seek mediation during your divorce.

Q: Can someone with TPS (Temporary Protected Status) later become a U.S. citizen?

A: While Temporary Protected Status (TPS) does not inherently offer a direct route to U.S. citizenship, beneficiaries may still pursue lawful permanent residency (a green card) if they qualify through other means, such as a family-based petition. After obtaining a green card, they become eligible to apply for naturalization once they satisfy the standard requirements, including those for residency, physical presence, and good moral character.

Q: Who qualifies for a U visa or T visa?

A: U and T visas provide immigration options for noncitizen crime victims (U) or human trafficking victims (T). U Visas are for victims of specific crimes (e.g., assault, domestic violence) who suffered substantial abuse, have information, and are assisting law enforcement. T Visas are specifically for victims of severe human trafficking present in the U.S. who comply with investigation requests and meet other criteria. Certain family members may also be eligible. Our experienced Des Moines attorneys can assess eligibility, as the definition of “victim” is broad.
