FAMILY & DIVORCE LAW
Child custody and parenting time/visitation: Your child custody arrangement, whether joint or sole, will determine two things: decision-making authority regarding education, religion, medical care and anything that you feel is important to your children and how much parenting time ("visitation") you will have. Always keeping the best interest of the children in mind, I will work with you to develop a reasonable proposed parenting plan that both protects your rights and be defensible in court.
Child support: Child support is determined by Colorado state guidelines, and I will make sure your plan fully and fairly takes into account key factors such as health insurance, day care costs and education. I will assess your situation and provide you a realistic picture of potential outcomes.
Property division: Including both assets and debts, I will help you understand what is considered marital property and determine a plan for its equitable division. It is important to understand that this process is transparent: both sides will have access to the other spouse's financial information and accounts. Alimony: Also known as spousal support or maintenance, the court can order alimony to be paid during and after the divorce proceeding. Temporary maintenance covers bills and expenses while the divorce is pending, and in some cases, the court may grant a party permanent maintenance. The court considers many factors, including each party's financial resources, education, age, health, standard of living during the marriage and the length of the marriage.
Post-decree Modifications: Financial and other circumstances may change after a divorce is finalized. The terms of your divorce settlement should reflect these
realities. I represent individuals seeking post-divorce modifications of
child custody, child support and alimony orders. I will fully explain to you
the process, the basis for change and give you an idea of the likelihood of
success. In addition, I will prepare all the documents and advocate for your
interests at any modification proceedings before the court. Common Law
Marriages in Colorado: Colorado recognizes common law marriages. For the
marriage to be valid, you must demonstrate three things: intention to be
married, cohabitation and community reputation. Individuals married under
common law have the same rights and obligations as parties who enter
traditional marriages, and divorce for common law marriage proceed in the
same way.
