Family Law
Skillful, straightforward,
and compassionate legal guidance.
Few situations cause people as much anxiety and distress as family law problems. If you are involved in a divorce or other family law situation, I can help. I am Des Moines divorce attorney Elena Greenberg. Through my firm, Greenberg Law, I provide people in Des Moines and nearby areas of Iowa with compassionate but aggressive representation for all aspects of divorce and other family needs.
Help With All Aspects of Divorce
Consultation
When I represent you in a divorce, our first meeting will be a consultation and full case review. I can assist you at each stage of the divorce, including filing a petition in the district court in your jurisdiction. Some counties require mediation as part of a filing; I will assist you if mediation is required. I will also guide you through the filing of required documents.
Negotiation
As your divorce process continues, I will help you negotiate an agreement regarding child support, custody and visitation, alimony, property division and financial issues. If you and the other party are able to come to an agreement, we will file a stipulated decree. If you and the other party cannot agree on the terms of your divorce, we will thoroughly explain how trial works and what you can expect.
Des Moines Child Custody Attorney
In addition to divorce, I represent clients who need assistance establishing or modifying child custody and child support. To ensure that child support obligations are set appropriately I can help you present the most accurate picture of your financial status during a motion to establish child support or modify a child support order.
I offer assistance with many other family law needs, including
adoption, paternity disestablishment and contempt of court proceedings.
