Divorce and separation cleanouts in Des Moines are sensitive work. One spouse has moved out (or both have); the property has to be cleared. We work after both parties have decided what's whose — or coordinate directly with attorneys when there's no agreement. Photo documentation of contents at time of cleanout. Court-ready records available. Discreet workflow.
Divorce and separation cleanouts in Des Moines are sensitive work. The property isn't being cleared entirely — it's being divided. One party is moving out with their share; we clear what's left, what was abandoned, or what neither party wanted. Sometimes both parties have already moved and the property is being prepped for sale; in those cases the scope looks closer to pre-listing.
What makes divorce cleanouts distinctive in the Des Moines metro is the documentation requirement. Family courts in Iowa allow contested contents to be inventoried at the time of cleanout — photos of every room before work begins, photos of items being removed, photos of the cleared property. We provide this documentation as standard scope.
JRP runs route coverage across Polk, Dallas, Warren, and Madison counties, with substantial basement scope volume given the Iowa housing stock. For families coordinating remotely (common when one spouse has already relocated out of state), the whole job runs via photo documentation with attorney sign-offs at decision points.
Plus the surrounding Polk, Dallas, Warren, Madison counties. Coverage extends across the entire the Des Moines metro area.

It depends on the property's ownership and your divorce status. If you're still on the deed jointly and the divorce isn't finalized, most Iowa family law attorneys recommend either an agreement between both parties or court authorization before substantial contents removal. We coordinate with your attorney on this distinction.

Your attorney typically reviews the scope before we proceed, may want photo documentation provided directly to them, and signs off on completion.

When contents are contested, we typically don't proceed without court authorization or both parties' written agreement. The risk is that removing contested items without authorization can create legal exposure for both us and you.
