Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa
I am going through a divorce, the trial is set in October in Iowa. At this time still living with spouse, but it is getting unbearable , a hearing for temporary custody is set in beginning of August. I am stay at home mom, but I choose to leave the house instead of staying and paying the mortgage , I have enough fund from my inheritance to buy a house. If I buy a house at this time before the divorce is final will it be marital ? is it better to keep my inheritance as it is, money in a bank account until the divorce is final ?

If you bought a house now, you would be raising the issue, with results you cannot evaluate. Although an inheritance is your property, you risk clouding the issue and you just can never tell what a court or opposing counsel would make of it. Better not to kick a sleeping dog. Rent an apartment until it's over and play your cards close to your vest.
