Divorce

Ending a marriage can be a stressful and exhausting process. We lend you our hand and partner with you to keep you informed of all issues in your case and answer any questions you may have during the proceedings to the best of our ability. You will have security and peace of mind knowing our attorneys have your best interest at heart.

As you make life-changing decisions, we will be by your side to ensure your divorce gives you fair terms. We offer an initial consultation and advice on the serious issues that lie before you and answer questions such as:

  • Property divisions: Who will get the house? Who will get the furniture? Who will own the car(s)? Who will have access to most of the money in your bank account? These are the type of decisions we will help you with.
  • Maintenance (Alimony): Will one spouse have to provide financial support to the other after the divorce?
  • Child support: Will one spouse have to provide financial support for the children?
  • Parental Responsibilities & Decision-Making: Who will have decision-making rights for the children? It is important to know your rights since what you do now will affect your parenting until the child reaches the age of 19 years.

Child Custody

Figuring out a custody arrangement for your child or children will be one of the most difficult parts of the divorce. The outcome of your case will affect your children’s lives for a long time to come. With so much at stake, it’s important to work with our attorneys. If your spouse is fighting for an unfair arrangement, or if you believe you need custody of your children for their safety, let us provide a hand and represent your case.

Child Support

Raising children takes financial resources and mental stability. Both parents have an obligation to provide for the needs of their children, but when parents are no longer together, child support measures out that responsibility. Child support can shape your children’s opportunities as well as your own financial stability. If you have questions about child support, contact us to bring unique and in-depth insight into your child support case.

Marriage & Relationship Planning

Protect yourself should your marriage end in a divorce with a pre and post-marital agreement. Having an agreement can provide measures of security to both spouses. Count on us to help you draft that agreement prior to getting married or after you are married. We also provide cohabitation agreements for two people that are living together but are not married. Cohabitation agreements can help deal with issues involving property, debts, health care decisions, and other estate planning considerations.

Paternity

Establish the paternity of your child. Our attorneys can help with the legal steps needed to prove or disprove paternity. Though the process can be difficult and emotional, we are here to support you every step of the way.

Civil Union

Civil unions in Colorado allow two partners of the same sex to enjoy the same benefits and protection as they would in a regular traditional marriage. Whether you are considering entering or ending a civil union with your partner, it’s important to consult with our attorneys to learn about your rights, legal options, and obligations. 

Changes to your family structure can be tension-filled and stressful. In a time when you often feel battered by change, our family lawyers will act as your anchor. They will guide you through your case with a focus on your individual rights, your rights concerning your children, and your property interests.
