Our services include traditional representation in family law related cases, consultations, assistance and advice on an ongoing basis without Court representation. We are committed to helping individuals and families work through what is often one of the most challenging transitions they will ever face. We believe that every client deserves representation by an attorney who listens, communicates effectively and responds promptly.
Each case presents its own unique facts and requires an attorney who understands those facts. We take the time and effort to provide the necessary, personal attention to our clients' needs while balancing the cost and benefit of any action taken.

Family law encompasses a wide range of legal issues.
The main areas that clients need assistance with are listed to the right with a basic definition.
There are other areas that do not fit specifically under those headings that involve family relationships.
Virtually all issues relating to families depend on the individual facts of the case.
As such, it is difficult and unwise to assume that one situation will receive the same results.
Because of the personal nature of issues in this area, many people speak to friends or other family members who have gone through a similar situation or case.

Colorado is a separate property state not a community property state.
Colorado law provides that marital property shall be allocated "equitably" between the parties.
This often results in marital property being equally divided between the parties but not in all cases.
Colorado sets apart separate property to each respective party which can include property owned prior to the marriage and property acquired by gift, bequest, devise or descent.
Components of separate property still can be deemed marital property such as the amount that property has increased in value during the marriage.

Colorado law provides for fairly stringent requirements regarding the relocation of a child/children to another State when there are current Court orders for parenting time.
Different standards apply for cases where there are no orders for parenting time and the case is deemed an initial determination for parental responsibility such as in a dissolution/divorce case.
Extremely important decisions have to be made by a parent when considering a move to a different state with a child/children and ideally should be made with advice of counsel.

Colorado uses the term "Maintenance" for spousal support paid by one party to another in a divorce/legal separation.
Many states use the term "Alimony".
The guidelines provide for a presumptive amount of maintenance and presumptive duration based upon the income of both parties and length of the marriage.
For any permanent maintenance or maintenance that extends beyond the entry of a decree of dissolution of marriage/legal separation, a party still must demonstrate that he/she lacks sufficient property to provide for his/her reasonable needs and is unable to support himself/herself through appropriate employment.
