Uncontested Divorce in Iowa

When you and your spouse agree, divorce doesn't need a courtroom battle or a five-figure legal bill. SimpleDivorce prepares your state-specific forms, coordinates signatures, and files your case with the court — court filing is included, and we can serve your spouse when needed. In Iowa, about 90 days minimum; most uncontested cases finalize in 3 to 4 months after filing.
