Iowa Legal Aid

Many Iowans' only contact with the court system is when a family law problem arises. There may be a divorce or custody action. This type of case can take a long time. It can cost a lot of money and be very emotional and stressful for the family. Therefore, the Iowa courts have looked for other ways to resolve family law disputes.

One way to resolve disputes is through mediation. Many counties in Iowa have mediation for family law cases. Sometimes it is required before you have a hearing in a family law matter.
