You Can Rely on Us

Family law cases carry a lot more emotional weight than other types of legal cases, which presents additional challenges for the parties involved. While any type of legal dispute can cost you a significant amount of money or force a life change you weren’t ready for, few legal matters follow you for the rest of your life. But when you divorce a spouse or co-parent with an ex-partner, that’s a relationship you’ll have to maintain for a minimum of 18 years. That’s why it’s so important to work with a divorce and family law attorney in Littleton. We know that the compromises made in divorce negotiations can affect you for decades, and we’re committed to finding solutions that accommodate your needs.

We know that every divorce is unique, and we never try to force you into one-size-fits-all solutions. There are many different ways to approach a divorce case, and we’ll work with you to develop a plan. Some people want to preserve the co-parenting relationship above everything else, knowing that they will need to co-parent for decades. This often means cooperating during the division of assets and other issues. Others want to walk away from their divorce with as much as possible, even when that means burning bridges with their ex. There are many dispute resolution methods we have at our disposal, and we’ll do everything in our power to secure a fair outcome for you.

Facing Divorce? Here’s What You Should Know

Divorce is a little different in every state, and as a Colorado resident, it’s important that you know what to expect during this process. Some of the most important things to remember include:

• Colorado is a no-fault state: Only a handful of states still have fault divorce. Fault divorces allow one party to seek divorce because of the other spouse’s abandonment, addiction to drugs or alcohol, infidelity, or other specific issue. These cases generally take more time but may benefit the innocent party. Colorado, on the other hand, only has no-fault divorce. This approach takes less time and may lead to a smoother coparenting relationship.
• There is a waiting period: There is a 91-day waiting period before a divorce can be granted. This time starts either when both parties file the divorce petition together or when the non-filing party is served with paperwork. This isn’t an issue for most, as the majority of divorces take more than 91 days to settle.
• The court prefers that divorcing spouses work out the terms of their divorce: If the parties cannot agree on the terms of their divorce, the court is likely to order mediation before the case goes before a judge. When the divorcing spouses negotiate, they retain power over the outcome—the same is not true when a judge decides how assets will be split, how parenting time will be split, and how much child support is awarded.
• The court prefers shared parenting time: The court does not give preference to one parent over the other unless there is credible evidence presented. They generally prefer to see a child spend significant time with both parents, as this is ideal for the child’s development. This does not stop parents from coming to an agreement that suits their needs, as the court will typically sign off on a fair parenting agreement.
• Child support is based on both parents’ income: Colorado uses a formula that accounts for both parents’ income and their share of parenting time. Many other factors contribute to the final child support order.
