Henson Shannon

Divorce
Debra Hockett-Clark has practiced divorce and family law for nearly 30 years. She is known for her attention to detail. Debra listens to her client's needs and makes sure that they know that she is on their side to guide them through the divorce process and not make their case more difficult. She realizes that clients with children will have an ongoing relationship with their ex-spouses for years to come. Most clients want to be able to move on after the divorce and be able to interact positively with their former spouse for the benefit of their children. Debra's clients are given the new option of a Collaborative divorce, an alternative to costly, time-consuming litigation that helps couples resolve disputes respectfully without going to court.

Child Support
Child support — Iowa law recognizes the duty of both parents to support their children. We work to obtain fair child support orders based on the parties’ true economic circumstances and help resolve disputes over child support payments.
Child Custody and Visitation
Adam J. Naset is an attorney with Hope Law Firm & Associates, P.C. Adam grew up in the state of Iowa and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 2016 from Grand View University.

Adoption
Paternity
Guardianship
Guardianship — If you have a loved one who lacks the capacity to live independently, we can help establish guardianship for their protection.
Spousal Support
Alimony — Spousal support is not automatic. The court considers many factors when deciding whether alimony is called for and in what amount. Our attorneys work diligently to persuade the court to weigh factors that favor your future financial security.
Legal Separation
Legal separation — A legal separation resolves all the ancillary issues mentioned above and allows the parties to live separately but does not free the spouses to remarry. Individuals with a religious objection to divorce or those who need to stay married to remain eligible for benefits often choose legal separation.
Annulment
Annulment — If your marriage was not valid at its formation, the law allows you to annul your union and treats you and your spouse as though you were never married. Grounds for an annulment include one of the spouses being party to a pre-existing marriage that was not legally dissolved, lack of capacity to contract a legal marriage, and impotence at the time of the marriage.

Real Estate Transactions
Transactions for the purchase and sale of real estate are heavily regulated by state and federal laws. Generally, real estate transactions are handled by licensed professionals, including agents who represent either the buyer or seller and brokers who help facilitate transactions.
Landlord-Tenant Disputes
Leasing property is a significant part of our real estate system. Buying and owning land is beyond the financial abilities of many people, depending on their location. In landlord-tenant cases, both parties have certain rights and duties with respect to each other.
Property Damage
Although you maintain insurance coverage on your residential, condominium, or commercial property, you may face a legal fight when property damage occurs. Although you should expect prompt, fair insurance payment, you may experience delays, denial, and financial disappointment instead.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Are you concerned about how your life and legacy will impact others after you pass away? Do you want to help secure the welfare of the people who are most important to you after your death? If so, you should work with an experienced Des Moines estate planning attorney from Hope Law Firm. Our legal team has the experience and knowledge to help you create a comprehensive estate plan that allows you to exercise the authority necessary to ensure your property and assets end up where you intend them to be upon your death.
Wills
In probate proceedings, courts rely on the terms of a person’s valid Last Will and Testament as the next best thing to their live testimony for proving their intent. When a person reduces their final wishes to a legally valid Will, it is considered to be an authoritative source evidencing what is called their “testamentary intent.” In contrast, when a person does not leave behind a valid Will, they are deemed to have died “intestate.”
Trusts
Power of Attorney
Estate planning: To make sure your assets and possessions are distributed according to your wishes after you pass away, you should carefully develop an estate plan utilizing not only a Will or Trust, but also powers of attorney and other legal instruments. At Hope Law Firm, our experienced estate planning attorneys in Des Moines can help you develop a comprehensive plan to accomplish your goals.
