Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

The dissolution can go through if the respondent cannot be found or does not appear. I would recommend you employ the services of a licensed private investigator to determine the respondent's location because if you do not do your due diligence here the entire thing could blow up in your face. I have seen the online ads for affidavits of diligent search and I am not convinced they would stand up. The services of a licensed PI will.
