There are four life changes, in a basic way, which contribute to selling a house; Divorce dominates the reasons to sell a house and is a time to call the Cedar Rapids divorce lawyer. In Iowa, a divorce is technically known as a “dissolution of marriage.”
Many people, when confronted with the prospect of divorce, want to know how assets will be divided. How will they maintain their standard of living? Who gets the house? How fast can you find a buyer for the house?
Iowa is a “no–fault” state.” This means you do not have to prove your spouse caused your marriage to fail. Your spouse does not have to prove you caused the marriage to fail. The Court will allow a divorce if you, or your spouse, say the marriage is broken and cannot be mended.
Iowa is an “equitable distribution” state. The court will divide all of the spouse’s property whether it was acquired before or after the marriage, except any gifts and inheritances received prior to or during the marriage. A portion of the property may be set aside in a fund for the support, maintenance, and education of any minor children. Again, marital fault is not a factor.
It is advisable to seek a Cedar Rapids divorce lawyer. Representing yourself in court is risky because you could be giving up your rights by not not knowing the law. But if you are intent on representing your self, the Iowa Judicial Branch now provides forms on its website — iowacourts.gov/for-the-public/court-forms/ — for people to represent themselves in unmarried custody and divorce cases.
A family law lawyer providing “limited scope representation” can help you behind the scenes. The attorney can help you complete the forms, answer your questions about their use, provide support calculations, and coach you on negotiating their completion without taking control of your case.
A limited scope attorney can provide help without a retainer if you pay for service as you need it.
Even if you do not communicate well with your ex or have disagreements that will have to be decided in court, self-representation with limited scope service from an attorney still is an option.
A limited scope attorney can still help you behind the scenes, or you can hire the attorney to appear for you in court through a single service engagement.
There are risks with either route, but the biggest risk is that you will lose. In many cases, however, this is a risk whether you hire a lawyer or not
