Can i use metal abuse in my divorce

I am sorry that you are experiencing abuse.    You do not need a reason to get divorced in Iowa, so the abuse would not be needed to show a basis for divorce.  If you have children, your husband's abuse would be relevant to child custody.   You can also get a protective order if you fear for your safety.  The forms are available at the clerk's office.     Donna Miller  515-245-4300 http://www.grefesidney.com/our-team/donna-miller/
