If you cannot fund the litigation I suggest you contact the legal clinic at Drake, the U of Iowa, or Creighton depending on your locality, or the Legal Aid Society

You can also call the Iowa State Bar Association and see if they have someone willing to take it on pro bono.

I would strongly advise that you not try this yourself, especially if there is significant property custody or the possibility of spousal support involved.

I have doubts about the legality or advisability of taking a dissolution on a contingency basis.
