Des Moines divorce lawyer Jessica A. Millage understands that divorce is one of the single most stressful events a person can experience. She finds it rewarding to advise and support her clients through that process and help them find the best resolution to a challenging situation.

Through all the chaos of divorce, Ms. Millage manages to maintain a strong sense of composure. She regularly reminds her clients in custody cases to always think about the future and not to focus only on what makes sense right now.

“Your children’s needs and schedules will change drastically as they grow up, and the adults will go through their own life changes as they move on from the relationship,” Ms. Millage said. “It’s easy to get caught up in the emotion of the situation, and my role is to help you see the big picture and find the best path to move forward.”

Prior to joining Cordell and Cordell, Ms. Millage worked for a nonprofit organization representing children in the court system, then went into private practice focusing on family, criminal, and litigation.
