Joint Account Rights Explained

Summary

In Iowa, both parties in a joint bank account have equal rights to the funds, and both must agree to remove one party. The policyholder can change life insurance beneficiaries unless restricted by a divorce settlement. Car insurance changes depend on ownership. During divorce, spousal support may be available based on various factors. Child custody decisions prioritize the childs best interests, and child support is calculated based on both parents income. For relocation post-divorce, court approval may be needed if it affects custody. In abusive situations, seek immediate safety and consider filing for a protective order.
