Prenuptial agreements are contracts. They are agreements that address the ownership and division of property in the event that the marriage ends and may also involve the disposition of life insurance and pension benefits, and other issues.

Historically, prenups have been associated with couples in which one spouse has significantly more assets than the other, but the certainty they bring to the end of a marriage can have value for couples regardless of their respective income levels.

Common law marriage is a term that is used relatively often; however, how it is applied within the context of disputes like separation or child custody agreements is often difficult to determine.

Under the Iowa Administrative Code Ch. 73, common law marriage is defined as “a social relationship between a man and a woman that meets all the necessary requisite of a marriage,” excepting that is was not “solemnized, performed or witnessed by an official authorized by law to perform marriages.” To qualify as a common law marriage, it must meet the requirements of a marriage, less the need for an officially recognized ceremony. Also, contrary to popular belief, there is no magic number of years that the parties must have cohabitated in order for a common-law marriage to exist.

The definition, and its application in practice in the courts, require complex legal knowledge. If you are experiencing a separation and believe you may have been in a common law marriage, an experienced family law attorney from Simpson Legal Group, LLC is available to advise you on what your best options are.

If you are approaching the divorce process, or have already begun, one of the main questions on your mind may be, how long will it all take?

While it would be great if we could offer you a clear-cut, one-size-fits-all answer, that is impossible as the answer is: it depends. Some divorces proceed in line with the norm.
