Iowa Custody

WomensLaw.org currently does not have state-specific information about Iowa custody laws. We hope the following links to outside sources may be helpful.

• Iowa Legal Aid has a lot of information on their website including the topics of modifying a custody order and joint custody.
• Iowa State Bar Association has an overview of different forms of custody, factors considered in a custody determination, paternity, and more.
• The Iowa Judicial Branch also has information about divorce, child custody, child support, paternity, and more.

The questions in this section provide information about custody that is not specific to any state, including a section about how to try to transfer your custody case to a new state where you are living so that you can modify the custody order from your new state.
