What do you do if your income is too high for Medicaid?
Planning for posterity in Iowa could mean putting money away for your beneficiaries. It also might entail making the most of every available resource at your disposal in order to minimize the impact your own living expenses have on your estate.

Bankruptcy does not mean you will never get another loan
Many people face financial struggles, you among them.

Of course, you may not feel entirely confident in knowing where to turn for such assistance.
Facts to know about guardianships for disabled children
Parents have enough reason to worry about their children entering the adult world at 18, but for Iowa parents with disabled children, such worries are multiplied substantially. Some parents wonder if they should place their child under an appointed guardianship. But at the same time, they do not want to stifle their child’s independence. There is, however, more leeway in a guardianship than many people may know, which can help parents with their specific wishes for their child.
When and where can you file for divorce?
If your marriage is at an end and you wish to file for divorce, it is important to understand the laws on when and where you can file. You simply cannot go to any state and file for divorce as states typically have residency requirements. In Iowa, according to the Iowa State Bar Association, either you or your spouse must be a resident of the state in order to file for divorce in the state. To be considered a resident, you or your spouse must have lived in the state for at least one year. You also cannot file at just any courthouse. You must file in the county in which you or your spouse lives.
