Jacob Eppler

Divorce and Family Law

Compassionate Denver Area Divorce Lawyer

Going through a divorce can be emotional and difficult experience. Important decisions must be made that have lasting effects on everyone involved, and it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. You want a lawyer who will do more than protect your rights; you want someone who understands that you are facing more than just legal issues.

I am Denver divorce attorney Jacob Eppler, and I help individuals throughout Colorado's Front Range with a variety of family law concerns. While nothing can prevent divorce from being straining, I can be your guide through a difficult period and help ease some of the burden.

When Your Future Is at Stake
Contact Jacob Eppler, Attorney at Law

If you are going through a divorce, you can count on me to guide you through the legal challenges and obstacles ahead. When you come to my Denver or Winter Park office, you can expect to come away with a better understanding of what will happen next and what your available options are. I will work closely with you to explore alternatives that can avoid the cost and anguish of litigation, but should litigation become necessary, I will be prepared to fight for your best interests at every step.

I offer knowledgeable legal assistance with the following divorce-related issues:

• 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 postdivorce 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.

I am available at my Denver offices weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., I also offer appointments on evenings and weekends. Credit cards are accepted, and German translation services are available. Contact me today for a free initial consultation regarding your family law concerns.
