Ascent Law Group P.C.

Divorce & Dissolution of Marriage

Divorce is rarely just a legal event. It is a financial reorganization, a parenting restructuring, and an identity transition - all at once. We handle the full spectrum: from efficiently negotiated agreements to fully contested litigation. We do not escalate cases unnecessarily and we do not back down when escalation is warranted.

High Conflict Matters & Litigation

Some cases require a different level of preparation and a different posture. High conflict matters (those involving domestic violence, parental alienation, significant asset disputes, or opposing parties who will not negotiate in good faith) require an attorney who is not rattled by volatility and who knows how to use the procedural tools available to protect you.

Child Custody & Parenting Matters

Custody decisions shape where your children sleep, how they experience two households, and the architecture of your co-parenting relationship for the next decade or more. These decisions deserve more than a standard template.

Child Support & Spousal Support

Support is often where the most contentious financial arguments live. We bring precise analysis to both. We understand that getting the numbers right at the start prevents years of downstream disputes.

Property & Asset Division

Iowa is equitable distribution state. This means the division of marital assets is a legal argument, not a formula. 

We approach it as one. 

Modifications to an existing Court Order

Circumstances change. When they do, court orders must change with them. We handle post-decree modifications with the same rigor as initial proceedings - because the stakes are just as real the secord time.
