A bill for an act creating the uniform family law arbitration Act.

HF 2619 creates Iowa's "Uniform Family Law Arbitration Act," allowing individuals to resolve certain family disputes through binding arbitration instead of court. It applies to issues like child support and custody agreements (with specific requirements), but explicitly excludes divorce, termination of parental rights, adoptions, and child dependency determinations. The bill requires written arbitration agreements signed by both parties, sets qualifications for arbitrators (including domestic violence training), and allows courts to oversee or halt proceedings if agreements are invalid or disputes fall outside the act's scope. This provides an alternative process for resolving family law conflicts while maintaining court oversight for major issues.
