Divorce Statistics
The following
information was compiled by IowaFathers.com through a child custody study we are
currently conducting. The data below is a breakdown by county for all cases
which a decree has been issued through Iowa Statute 598 (Dissolution of Marriage
& Domestic Relations) from 1/1/2004 through 6/1/2008. We will continue to add
more data as we complete different stages of the study. Ultimately, this report
shall be submitted to the Iowa Legislature this coming legislative session.
