Our core Practice Areas

At Bray and Klockau PLC, our legal professionals focus on providing top-tier services across a broad spectrum of domestic relations and family matters. We represent clients in the following areas:

• Divorce and Dissolution of Marriage: We guide clients through both uncontested and highly contested divorces, assisting with high-asset property division, alimony, and complex financial disputes.
• Child Custody and Visitation: Protecting your relationship with your children is our highest priority. We help establish parenting plans, joint custody agreements, and visitation schedules that serve the best interests of your children.
• Child Support and Modification: Our attorneys assist in ensuring child support calculations are fair, accurate, and structured according to Iowa guidelines. We also represent clients in post-decree modifications of child custody and support orders.
• Adoption Services: Whether you are completing a step-parent adoption, a private adoption, or finalizing a foster care adoption, we handle the complex legal paperwork so you can focus on welcoming your new family member.
• Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements: We draft customized agreements that safeguard personal assets and clarify expectations before or during marriage, helping you establish a stable foundation.

Resolving Disputes through Mediation

While we are always prepared to zealously represent our clients in court, we also recognize that litigation is not always the best path forward. For families seeking a more collaborative approach, we offer professional mediation services. Mediation provides an opportunity for couples to resolve disputes out of court, saving time, reducing stress, and lowering legal fees. As skilled divorce lawyers, we can serve as neutral mediators or represent you during the mediation process, working to achieve mutually beneficial agreements on asset division, spousal support, and custody arrangements.
