Iowa Code chapter 598.41 is the primary Iowa custody statute. In Iowa, there are two kinds of custody: legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody is the ability to make decisions for the child, such as education, religion, health care, and whether the child will participate in extracurricular activities. Physical custody (also called physical placement) is where the child lives and meets their day-to-day needs.

In Iowa there are two types of orders, criminal protective orders and civil protective orders. Criminal protective orders are only used in criminal court proceedings involving people accused of domestic violence that have not yet had their trials occur. Individuals cannot seek to have a criminal protective order issued on their own. Civil protection orders are available for individuals who are concerned that they could be abused.

Please contact our friendly lawyers to Schedule a Consultation.
See below for our other locations. If our office locations are not convenient for you, we are happy to speak with you by phone.
The purpose of a consultation is to determine whether our firm is a good fit for your legal needs. Although we often discuss expected results and costs, our attorneys do not give legal advice unless and until you choose to retain us. Consultations may carry a charge, depending on the facts of the matter and the area of law. The cost of your consultation, if any, is communicated to you by our intake team or the attorney.
I am personally committed to ensuring that each one of our clients receives the highest level of client service from our team. Our mission is to provide excellent legal work in a cost-effective manner while maintaining open lines of communication between our clients and their attorneys. Many of our clients are going through difficult times in their lives when they reach out to us. They should feel comfortable leaning on the experience and knowledge of our attorneys as their counselors and advocates. We are here to help!
