This Saturday’s Second Saturday Workshop falls on Valentine’s Day. ❤️

Love doesn’t always unfold the way we imagined. Sometimes it changes. Sometimes it ends. And sometimes it asks us to begin again.

If you’re considering or going through divorce, this day can feel especially heavy. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Join us via Zoom for a supportive, educational workshop designed to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Let us help you navigate what’s next.

Divorce doesn't have to be a solo journey 💼

While hiring an attorney might be your first thought, you might also want to consider recruiting other professionals to your "divorce team."

Who should be on your divorce team? Consider:

> Divorce attorney – Your legal advocate and guide through the process
> Financial specialist – A certified divorce financial analyst (CDFA) or financial planner who understands the long-term implications of settlement decisions
> Therapist or counselor – Someone to support your emotional health during this difficult transition
> Mediator – If you're pursuing an amicable divorce, a mediator can help you and your spouse reach agreements
> Real estate agent – Especially if you need to sell or buy property
> Mortgage broker – To help you understand refinancing options or qualify for a new home
> Divorce coach – A newer role that helps you navigate the emotional and practical aspects of divorce
> Tax specialist or CPA – To understand the tax implications of your settlement

Not everyone needs every specialist! Your team should reflect your circumstances, your goals, and your budget. The key is knowing what resources are available so you can get the support you truly need. 💪

We are thankful to have Jessica on our volunteer team❣️

Each year, The Iowa State Bar Association recognizes attorneys who devote at least 50 hours of pro bono legal service through its “Pro Bono Honor Roll.”

We’re proud to share that litigation shareholder Scott Brennan and family law attorney Jessica Shannon were included in this year’s list for their work with Iowa Legal Aid and the Volunteer Lawyers Project. Both exceeded the 50-hour aspirational standard set by the Iowa Rules of Professional Conduct – an impressive commitment to advancing access to justice in our community.

We’re grateful to Scott and Jessica for their service and leadership.
And a special shoutout to shareholder John Pietila, who supports this mission year-round through his service on the Iowa Legal Aid Foundation Board of Directors.
