Information on Iowa Divorce.
Divorce in Iowa can be a pretty simple process. They make the divorce process pretty simple. Again I have said many times, always research the area you may be moving to, if you are deciding on divorce, each state as you know as a time period you must live there before filing for a divorce. In Iowa the time period is a year. You must live in the state for at least a year before you can file for divorce. There is no time limit on county, so you can move to another county, but this is always something else to remember in a divorce from state to state, unless its something huge that is making you move, such as a job etc...a spouse can always have you made to move back if there are children involved, in the best interest. So before you do anything major in the divorce process, make good and sure its where you want to be.
In Iowa the divorce process is called the dissolution of marriage, now the one tricky part to Iowa is that there is a 90 day waiting period on all divorce, and this is not from the time the divorce papers are filed and served. This is after the process has begun and instead of finalizing the divorce if everyone is in agreement of everything, you will have to wait 90 days for your divorce.
The grounds for divorce in Iowa are simple they are referred to as irretrievable breakdown of a marriage, basically this is irreconcilable differences. Like most states that have this for the grounds for divorce, this stops a finger pointing contest of who did what in the marriage. The divorce courts will not listen to any of that in the divorce process.
Basically the divorce process is simple but yet a bit tricky in Iowa. If you have any more questions on Iowa divorce please feel free to ask.
