6 divorce attorneys practise in Des Moines. They handle contested and uncontested cases, division of property and debt, spousal support, retirement accounts, the family home, and custody arrangements attached to the divorce.
If you and your spouse agree on the substance, say so at the consultation and ask for a flat-fee quote — an uncontested divorce is a fraction of the cost of a litigated one.
For everything else, gather financial records before the first meeting. Tax returns, account statements and mortgage documents will be disclosed eventually, and producing them late is what makes a divorce expensive.
