Have you lived in Iowa for the last year? If so, you can file in Iowa. If not, you may need to file in your last state of residence or wait until you have been here a year to file. Or, if your husband agrees that Iowa is Ok, you can do it here.
If you both agree to the terms of the divorce, it can be a simple process and I offer a flat rate fee. If you have children and/or there will be disputes, it can be more complicated.
Most attorneys will provide a 30-minute consult for free to discuss your options. You can find answers to questions on my website: http://www.grefesidney.com/practice-areas/family-law/ You can also find forms at https://www.iowacourts.gov/for-the-public/representing-yourself/
Let me know if you would like to discuss.
