FAQs by Cedar Falls Clients

Q. How is child custody determined in Iowa?

A. Child custody is determined based on the best interests of the child. Factors include parental involvement, stability, the child’s wishes (if mature enough), and each parent’s ability to provide a safe and nurturing environment.

Q. How is child support calculated in Iowa?

A. Child support is determined using the Iowa Child Support Guidelines, considering factors like each parent’s income, the number of children, and healthcare costs. The court ensures financial contributions from both parents.

Q. Is Iowa a community property or equitable distribution state?

A. Iowa follows equitable distribution, meaning marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally. The court considers various factors like each spouse’s contributions, economic circumstances, and future needs.
