ABA Family Law Section — Find a Lawyer

Custody & Visitation · Iowa · Free

The American Bar Association's Family Law Section publishes consumer guides on the UCCJEA, relocation, and grandparent visitation, plus a directory of section members nationwide. While the ABA itself does not represent clients, the public-facing pages translate dense statutes into language a self-represented mother can use to evaluate her own case before hiring counsel.
