QUESTION
I was divorced in Oakland, Ca in 1987. I was given permission by Judge Demetrios P. Agretelis to be my own lawyer. My divorce isn't complete.

More details to this question:
My name is Breget Medley. I had to move back to Iowa because my mother had quadruple heart surgery. I ended up taking care of my mother, grandmother, father, aunt, and my two brothers. All are dead except my aunt who will be 95 this June. Being a caregiver isn't easy. On what hasn't be resolved yet is the spousal support and other issues. I'm on a fixed income, Social Security Disability. You may ask, what took me so long to do something about this matter? I lost my original divorce degree. Last year I got a copy from the Alameda Court House. Now I need a lawyer. Can you help after 33 years?

Breget,
If you were not divorced in California, and you have been in Iowa for more than a year, you can file for divorce in Iowa.
