Family Law Resolving Issues in Your Divorce
No matter the relationship that you have with your spouse, you and your spouse will face a host of unique issues that you will need to resolve before your divorce can be finalized. For the majority of couples, these issues include:
- Property division. How property will be divided between you and your spouse is one of the biggest questions you’ll face when getting divorced. While you and your spouse may make this decision together without court intervention, if a decision cannot be reached, Colorado law holds that property must be divided equitably.
- Child custody and child support. For parents, determining with whom a child will live can be a very emotional choice. Colorado courts hold that the best interests of the child must be prioritized. It is typically the noncustodial parent who is ordered by the court to make child support payments.
- Spousal maintenance/alimony. Sometimes, one party in a marriage may be financially dependent on the other. When this is the case, this party may seek spousal maintenance/alimony from the financially independent party.
Our lawyers represent you in all discussions and negotiations with your spouse, and can advise you regarding how to protect your best interests. We encourage you and your spouse to reach out-of-court agreements, and can assist you in forming and reviewing a parenting plan/time sharing arrangement.
The Colorado Family Law Services We Provide
Divorce
Our family law attorneys have the skills and experience needed to assist you with any aspect of your Colorado divorce case. We also handle marriage annulments and other related issues. If you and your spouse are separating, we can help you protect your legal rights.
Prenuptial/Postnuptial Agreements
We draft and review prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. Essentially, prenups/postnups are contracts that control the division of property should a couple decide to get divorced at some point in the future. We can help you create prenup or postnup that is enforceable under Colorado law and that effectively protects your best interests.
Property Division in Family Law
Colorado is an equitable distribution state. This means that marital assets and debts are divided in a manner that is fair to both sides. Property disputes can be an extremely complex matter in family law, especially for high-net-worth couples, or for couples who own complicated assets. Our attorneys will assist you in fighting for your fair share of the marital property.
Child Custody
Parents often face a difficult battle in child custody proceedings. Assuring that children are placed in the best home and that parents are able to be a part of their children’s lives is a top priority. Our family law attorneys can help you fight for your parental rights.
Child Support
Our firm has extensive experience handling all aspects of child support cases. We make sure that our clients are paying (or receiving) the proper amount, as stipulated by Colorado law. Our firm also has deep experience handling paternity cases.
Spousal Support (Alimony)
Finally, our firm also handles alimony cases. The Supreme Court requires that alimony laws are gender neutral. This means that either a husband or a wife may potentially be entitled to alimony. We fight to protect the rights of our family law clients in spousal support cases.
